Life happens — in ways that challenge our minds, our relationships, and sometimes even our faith. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR-certified therapist, and bilingual/bicultural provider, I offer a compassionate space where older adults, caregivers, parents, and families can heal emotionally while honoring their cultural values and spiritual beliefs.

Raised by my grandmother, I learned early the power of wisdom and resilience — lessons that continue to guide the care I provide today.

I will meet you where you are at,

• Older adults navigating grief, trauma, health changes, or life transitions
• Caregivers and sandwich generation adults balancing love, responsibility, and stress
• Parents seeking peace, balance, and deeper connection with their children
• Individuals and families integrating mental health, cultural identity, and spirituality

What Sets My Practice Apart:

• LCSW with specialized expertise in trauma, aging, caregiving, and family systems
• EMDR-certified — helping clients heal from trauma and find peace
• Bilingual and bicultural — therapy that honors language, values, and lived experiences
• Spiritual integration — respecting and incorporating clients’ beliefs to foster meaning and resilience
• Telehealth sessions to fit diverse needs

Life happens — but healing is possible. Together, we can honor your story, embrace your culture, and, if you choose, draw on your spirituality as a source of strength on the path toward peace and wholeness.
