Great to meet you!

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, and life transitions who want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My background includes Applied Behavior Analysis and bilingual school psychology, and I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and clients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

I strive to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and caring space where clients can recognize their strengths, build resilience, and move toward greater confidence and well-being. When clients are motivated and actively engaged in the process, many begin noticing meaningful improvement within 4-5 sessions, including a greater sense of control over difficult symptoms and clearer tools for improving their quality of life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique goals, experiences, and strengths so that our work feels practical and personally meaningful. I draw from evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, behavioral interventions, and other skill-building approaches to help clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental conversation about what brings you to therapy, what you have been experiencing, and what you hope to work toward. I will take time to understand your concerns, strengths, background, and goals. Together, we will begin identifying what feels most important to address and what needs to be done to help you move forward. My hope is that you leave the first session feeling understood, connected, and more hopeful about the work we can do together in upcoming sessions.
