Great to meet you!

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted. Since 2018, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, with a special passion for providing affirming, culturally responsive care to members of the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can show up as your authentic self and feel supported every step of the way.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients process trauma and distressing experiences, and I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress. Together, we'll build on your strengths, foster resilience, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll complete a comprehensive assessment to better understand your unique experiences, concerns, and goals for therapy. We'll discuss what brings you in, review your personal, mental health, and medical history, explore your current symptoms, and talk about any strengths, supports, and coping strategies you already have.

From there, we'll begin working together at a pace that feels right for you. Depending on your needs, we may focus on developing coping skills, processing past experiences, improving relationships, or working through life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you, with the goal of helping you feel supported, gain insight, and build the tools needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
