Great to meet you!

Are you looking for a therapist who understands your culture and speaks your language? I can help. I am fluent in Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor with 40 years of clinical experience. I work with adults, children, and adolescents, and I value each person’s cultural background, identity, and lived experience.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to you. Because every person is different, I draw from different therapeutic approaches based on your needs and goals. You are the expert on yourself and your life; my role is to offer perspective, support, and practical guidance as you move forward.

What you can expect from me

You can expect honest feedback, thoughtful guidance, and a respectful space to talk openly. I will share what I observe and think, while honoring your ability to decide what feels right for you.
