Great to meet you!

As a bilingual, bicultural therapist, a former police officer, and a mom, I bring a grounded, empathetic approach to therapy, particularly when working with trauma, grief, and high-stress environments. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and difficult life experiences. I understand that what we experience is shaped by more than our symptoms, and I strive to understand the whole person, including their culture, relationships, family, and life experiences.

Como terapeuta bilingüe y bicultural, ex oficial de policía y madre, aporto un enfoque realista y empático a la terapia, especialmente al abordar traumas, duelos y situaciones de alto estrés. Trabajo con adultos que enfrentan ansiedad, depresión, dificultades en sus relaciones y experiencias de vida complejas. Comprendo que nuestras vivencias están determinadas por algo más que nuestros síntomas, por lo que me esfuerzo por comprender a la persona en su totalidad, incluyendo su cultura, sus relaciones, su familia y sus experiencias vitales.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and systemic. Together, we'll explore how your experiences, relationships, and environment may be influencing how you think, feel, and respond. I draw from evidence-based approaches while tailoring therapy to your individual needs and goals. Whether we're working through trauma, strengthening a relationship, or navigating a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel understood while building healthier patterns and greater resilience.

Mi enfoque es cálido, colaborativo y sistémico. Juntos exploraremos cómo tus experiencias, relaciones y entorno pueden estar influyendo en tu forma de pensar, sentir y reaccionar. Me baso en enfoques respaldados por evidencia científica, adaptando la terapia a tus necesidades y objetivos particulares. Ya sea que estemos abordando un trauma, fortaleciendo una relación o atravesando una transición importante en la vida, mi objetivo es ayudarte a sentirte comprendido mientras desarrollas patrones saludables y mas resiliencia.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know one another and talk about what brought you to therapy. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can openly share your experiences and goals, whether you prefer to communicate in English or Spanish. We'll identify where it makes sense to begin and work together to create a realistic path forward that feels meaningful to you.

En nuestra primera sesión, nos tomaremos el tiempo para conocernos y hablar sobre lo que te ha llevado a iniciar terapia. Encontrarás un espacio acogedor y libre de juicios donde podrás compartir abiertamente tus experiencias y objetivos, ya sea si quiere comunicarse en inglés o en español. Identificaremos por dónde es más adecuado comenzar y trabajaremos juntos para tomar un paso adelante, realista, y significativo para ti.
