Great to meet you!

Hablo Español!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping adults and Military Veterans tackle their daily challenges, anxiety, stress, trauma, and daily life challenges.

I believe in collaborating with you to tackle your life's challenges using case management, crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, and talk therapy techniques.

My approach to therapy

Everyone’s’ stories are unique and they deserve an individualized approach, no judgement, and a lot of empathy. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me to have an open and respectful relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

We will start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and goals for therapy. I strive to create rapport and make you feel welcome, comfortable and secure.
