Great to meet you!

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed navigating life's challenges or carrying the weight of past experiences, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. I strive to meet each person with curiosity, empathy, and cultural humility, honoring their unique story and lived experience.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in EMDR, an approach that helps the brain safely reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and vividness. It is also highly effective for anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain and addiction.

I also draw from treatment approaches such as CBT, DBT, and the Sanctuary Model, allowing us to work together in a way that feels supportive, flexible, and tailored to your unique needs.

I specialize in trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, toxic work environments/workplace trauma, and harm caused within faith based and church communities/agencies.

I am trained in forensic and immigration psychological evaluations, and provide expert witness testimony.

What you can expect from me

Si te has sentido agotada o cargando con peso de experiencias pasadas, no tienes que hacerlo solo. Mi enfoque se basa en la creencia de que la sanación comienza en un espacio donde te sientas segura, escuchado y respetada. También proporciono evaluaciones de inmigración. Estoy aquí para apoyarte y acompañarte en tu proceso con cuidado y comprensión.

Soy una terapeuta con más de 20 años de experiencia centrada en el trauma. Yo trato a mis clientes con humildad, compasión, y empatía. La seguridad psicológica es fundamental para su experiencia. Yo especializo en trauma, depresión, ansiedad, divorcio, y abuso.
