I am very passionate about working with people of color, LGBTQ+ and those with mental health disorders. I have over 18 years of clinical experience working with a variety of populations including in the field of addiction. In therapy I help every client find their own personal voice to begin the process of reconstructing their personal narrative. Trust, safety and genuine compassion is what I bring to the room. These are vital factors in facilitating change. Within the therapeutic realm, each client can feel empowered to make healthy and constructive choices that will navigate them on their road to recovery.

I believe we should all have access to a space where we can be open and honest with who we are and what we need to thrive. It is important to me that I support individuals in cultivating such a space with safety and freedom of feelings, thoughts and emotions. We all deserve a chance to thrive in life and find some sense of peace and understanding of experiences that make us who we are. I am here to challenge any notions that you cannot be your best self and find solace in that.

As a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience, I seek to promote the growth of my clients utilizing a strengths-based and goal-oriented treatment approach.

I often find myself engaging with family members struggling to motivate a loved one to enter into treatment, or simply seeking to learn more about addiction and how to best support them.
