Great to meet you!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Bilingual (English & Spanish). With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in supporting children, adolescents and adults who are navigating depression, anxiety and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be a collaborative partnership. I strive to create a safe, non judgmental space where my clients feel heard and supported. Together, we work to understand the challenges you're facing and build practical tools for healing, growth and lasting change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is all about getting to know you. It's a safe, welcoming space where we will talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I will ask some questions to understand your background, current challenges, and goals-but you set the pace.
