Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with adults in navigating stress related to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, perfectionism, and/or adjusting to being a "real adult" after schoolingl. I often work with first-generation Americans who feel stuck between two cultures. I also have expertise in working with those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I am trilingual (English, Spanish, Portuguese). I have virtual, daytime availability only.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to create a safe, judgement-free environment, often using humor. I will teach you how to identify and process feelings and experiences, and to implement strategies to navigate life’s challenges. I will work with you to find effective solutions in order to reach your identified goals.

What you can expect from me

The primary objective of the first session is to feel understood and heard, as that is the most important aspect of therapy! The goal is for me to get an idea of what the presenting problem is and identify goals for upcoming sessions.
