I provide a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe being your authentic self. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship or family challenges, parenting concerns, or life transitions, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion. I understand how culture, family dynamics, and life experiences shape mental health, and I bring that perspective into every session.

I hold advanced degrees in Social Work and Applied Behavior Analysis and have over 10 years of experience as both a clinician and educator. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, including individuals with developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I integrate evidence-based practices with a strengths-based and systems-oriented perspective, recognizing how family dynamics, community context, and broader social factors impact mental health. I focus on emotional regulation, functional communication, and skill development, while also addressing underlying trauma, stress, and life transitions. When working with children and families, I prioritize caregiver collaboration and continuity across home, school, and community settings. Across all of my work, I am guided by compassion, patience, and clinical excellence, aiming to empower clients, foster meaningful change, and support long-term healing and growth.

I will ask about your current challenges, personal history, strengths, and goals for therapy, while also explaining the therapy process, confidentiality, and what working together may look like. I take time to listen carefully, clarify concerns, and understand the context of your life, including relationships, stressors, and supports.
