Great to meet you!

I'm dedicated to walking alongside you as you navigate life's challenges, changes, and losses — in a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and respected. I offer sessions in both English and Español, so you can share your story in whichever language feels most like home.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends empathy, active listening, and a strengths-based lens: rather than focusing on what's "wrong," I help you recognize and build on the strengths you already carry. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, substance and alcohol use, and the lingering effects of trauma — and I bring a trauma-informed lens to all of it, which means we move at a pace that feels safe for you, never rushing past what you're not ready to face. If you're carrying something heavy from your past, this is a place where that history is treated with care, not judgment.

I also work often with people going through major life transitions and loss — a breakup, a move, a career shift, a death — moments when the ground can feel unsteady and you need someone to help you find footing again. Whatever your cultural background, I want you to feel like this space was built for you.

What you can expect from me

Above all, I believe therapy works best as a true partnership. Together, we'll build a treatment plan shaped around your specific goals and values — not a one-size-fits-all approach. I'd be honored to support you on your path toward wellness and growth.
