Great to meet you!

Great To Meet You! I'm Francisca (Franckie). I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and I bring a warm, holistic, and empowering approach to every session. I believe mental health struggles are part of the human experience, and the stigma around seeking help often keeps people from getting the care they deserve. I'm passionate about this work because I want every client to feel truly heard and to know that their pain is real and valid, and that healing is possible.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, holistic, and empowering. I take the time to really listen; I don't rush through sessions, and I go above and beyond to make sure clients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and the reasoning behind what we're working on. I look at the whole person, not just symptoms, and I work to give clients the tools and confidence to manage their mental health long-term, not just in the room with me.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, expect a compassionate, no-judgment space to share what's been going on. Many clients come to me feeling depressed, experiencing mood swings, or struggling with a lack of focus. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. We'll talk through what you've been feeling, I'll explain my clinical thinking clearly along the way, and we'll start building a plan together so you leave with a sense of direction, not just a diagnosis.
