Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over four years of experience providing individual and group therapy. As a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking clinician, I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I also have extensive experience working in a substance use disorder treatment setting, supporting individuals with addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and substance use. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Motivational Interviewing, and supportive counseling.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. We'll explore your current concerns, discuss your goals, and begin creating a plan that feels right for you. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can share at your own pace and feel comfortable asking questions. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
