I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) with a doctorate in psychology and extensive experience working with adults, college students, athletes, performing artists, and professionals. My clinical work focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity development, relationship concerns, stress management, and performance-related challenges. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strengths-based, drawing from evidence-based practices to meet each client's individual needs. I am fluent in Spanish and French, conversational in Portuguese, and strive to provide culturally responsive care to clients from diverse backgrounds. I am EMDR-trained and committed to creating an inclusive, affirming environment where clients can develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence as they work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I believe that therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted while also feeling supported to challenge unhelpful patterns and create meaningful change. I value curiosity, honesty, and collaboration, and I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, managing stress or anxiety, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'll meet you where you are and work alongside you at a pace that feels both supportive and growth-oriented.
