Great to meet you!

You don’t have to carry everything on your own. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and hearing their stories. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, emotional regulation, and life changes. I especially enjoy working with Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent clients, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and comfortable being yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered around you. I use person-centered and strengths-based therapy, incorporating CBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based techniques based on what feels most helpful for your needs. I also practice with cultural attunement, recognizing that your identity, relationships, culture, and life experiences all shape your journey. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share what’s been bringing you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, concerns, and what you hope to work on, while making sure you feel comfortable and heard. We’ll begin identifying goals together, but there’s no pressure to have everything figured out right away. My hope is that you leave feeling understood and with a clearer sense of what therapy can look like for you.
