Helping You Heal, Grow, and Thrive

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children (ages 5+), adolescents, adults, and older adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and life transitions.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Florida International University. My professional background includes supporting survivors of violence, immigrants, unaccompanied youth, LGBTQ+ individuals, and families navigating complex systems of care.

My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, combining evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT with a whole-person perspective that honors the mind, body, and spirit. I also bring a spiritual lens when appropriate, helping clients connect more deeply with their resilience and strengths.

In your first session, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we’ll get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, your history, and what you’d like to get out of our work together. This is also your chance to ask me questions and share what feels most important for you. By the end of our session, we’ll start building a plan tailored to your needs so you leave with a sense of direction and support.

At the core of my work is creating a safe, compassionate space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered. My goal is to support you in building resilience, healing from adversity, and moving toward lasting well-being.
