Great to meet you!

With more than 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of supporting adults through a wide range of life's challenges. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating depression, grief, anger, identity concerns, or other personal challenges, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change together.

My approach to therapy

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Every person brings their own experiences, strengths, and goals, so I tailor treatment to fit your individual needs. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often serves as a starting point, I integrate other therapeutic approaches—including Reality Therapy and Transcendental Therapy—when they best support your growth. Together, we'll identify practical strategies that help you make progress both inside and outside of our sessions.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and discuss what has brought you to therapy. We'll explore your concerns, identify both immediate and long-term goals, and begin creating a plan that feels meaningful and achievable. My hope is that you leave our first meeting with a greater sense of direction and confidence in the path ahead.
