Great to meet you!

Welcome! As a bilingual licensed therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by providing emotional support and personalized coping tools. Whether you’re taking your first step into therapy or continuing a journey you’ve been on before, I’m committed to creating a safe space where all of your feelings and life experiences are welcome.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and work with the Spanish-speaking and LGBTQ community as well.

My approach to therapy

In my therapy practice, I aim to empower and uplift clients by helping them identify their strengths and unique qualities. I strive to welcome clients by providing culturally relevant services and individualized therapy preferences.

I believe that although I am the therapist, our working relationship is equal, and you are the expert on your own experiences.

What you can expect from me

Once we decide to start working together, the first session is when you'll have the opportunity to share your story and the experiences that have brought you to therapy.

You are also welcome to book a free 15 minute consultation call before beginning therapy services.

I listen with an open mind and aim to create a supportive space for people who need to process their thoughts and feelings.
