Great to meet you!

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, with a focus on creating the best plan for your mental health and overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk through what’s been going on. We’ll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, personal and medical history, and any past treatment experiences, while also making space for any questions you may have. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. By the end of the visit, we’ll begin putting together a personalized plan that feels right for you.
