Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my 20 years of experience, I worked with individuals across the lifespan, with a special focus on:

• Parenting, perinatal mental health, and fertility journeys

• Immigration, acculturation, and intergenerational trauma

• Life transitions, stress, and identity exploration

• Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem

• Grief, loss, and healing from trauma

• Relationship challenges and attachment dynamics

• Survivors of emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse

My approach to therapy

My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in respect, collaboration, and cultural humility.

Drawing from Relational Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Strength-Based, and Expressive Arts Psychotherapy, I create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

What you can expect from me

"Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about learning to dance in the rain."

You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

With warmth, creativity, and a deep respect for your unique story, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to healing.

I’m here to help you reconnect with your inner strength and move forward with intention.

Let’s take the next step together. I look forward to connecting with you.
