Great to meet you!

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, individuals experiencing relationship challenges, survivors of child abuse, miscarriage/infant loss, infertility issues and postpartum depression. I also offer specialization in working with children and families and am bilingual in English and Spanish to meet the needs of a more diverse and culturally sensitive population. I am very passionate about encouraging patients to become the best version of themselves and incorporate insightful changes desired to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My approach to therapy

I believe everyone is unique and I value the importance of building strong relationships with my patients as it is essential to their personal growth and healing. It is a great honor to work with patients living though different life journeys. I have experience working with a diverse population of individuals from all paths of life.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, patients can expect a supportive, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where they are invited to share their story at their own pace. This initial meeting focuses on getting to know one another, understanding the patient’s current concerns, personal history, and goals for therapy, and discussing what has or hasn’t worked for them in the past. Together, we will begin to identify strengths, explore areas of growth, and collaboratively develop a plan that feels aligned with the patient’s needs and values. Above all, the first session is about building trust, establishing safety, and ensuring the patient feels heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning.
