Great to meet you!

Some thoughts loop so often that they start to feel like they belong to you, and you may have spent years quietly arranging your life around them. Whether you are living with anxiety, depression, OCD, or the lingering weight of trauma, you deserve a space

where you can finally set it all down. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience, and I provide therapy in both English and Spanish to adults and seniors.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and intentional. I don't believe you are broken or need fixing. I specialize in trauma-informed care and the treatment of OCD, drawing on evidence-based practices including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Together, we work at a pace that honors your experience, so the thoughts and memories that once felt overwhelming slowly lose their grip.

Our first session is simply a conversation, with no script to follow and nothing you have to be ready to share before you are. I will ask what brought you here, listen closely, and we will figure out together where to begin. If any part of this feels like what you have

been looking for, I would be glad to hear from you.

Reach out today and let's take the

first step.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and intentional. I don’t believe you are broken or need fixing. I believe clarity, calm, and self-trust are possible when therapy moves at a pace that honors your experience.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, I focus on helping you feel safe, understood, and supported while we gently shift how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and body.
