Hello! I'm so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote, individual therapy for adults who are experiencing mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, and perinatal and postpartum mood & anxiety disorders (PMAD). I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where my clients can identify and work to achieve effective, sustainable, personal shifts in their lives. During our sessions, my clients learn more about themselves, and what is necessary for them to achieve the freedom to live their most truthful and meaningful lives.

Whether you’re looking for deep personal healing, you want to create a more enjoyable relationship, or you need some extra support during a difficult time, I offer a nonjudgmental space where I will walk beside you every step of the way as we find a way forward. I believe our past experiences live in our bodies, and I’m interested in how those experiences continue to show up in our lives and our relationships. I enjoy working with people who want to explore new ways of relating to themselves and the people they care about. I welcome people of all gender identities, sexualities, and relationship structures.

We aim to empower individuals and create opportunities for wholeness through anti-oppressive holistic practices. Our inclusive approach extends to ALL individuals with a targeted focus on providing support and services to those who identify as part of any of the following communities: BIPOC, QTBIPOC, LGBTQIA+2S, Adoptee, and First/Second Gen Immigrants.

Now accepting Blue Cross BlueShield. I believe that each person is their own healer and is capable of living life fully. My approach to therapy includes exploring our past experience, present circumstances, and future goals. I strive to create a non-judgmental, compassionate, and collaborative space for my clients. I have been a licensed masters level therapist for 6 years. My experience includes anxiety, depression, trauma, EMDR, substance use disorder, eating disorder, self esteem, body image, perinatal mental health, and parenting. Before becoming an LPCC I worked with severe and persistent mental health in residential settings.

As a relational therapist who works with individuals and couples, I specialize in fostering healthy connections. Whether you're a couple facing conflict and communication issues or an individual overwhelmed by people-pleasing and lack of confidence, I can guide you toward deeper connectedness, more effective communication, and contentment. Struggling to express your authentic voice? People-pleasing can suppress your true desires, causing inner conflict and resentment. Constantly overwhelmed? That impacts your quality of life and ability to cope daily. Together, we can work to help you feel more resourced and fulfilled.

I currently have openings on Tuesdays/Thursdays virtually, or Wednesday evenings in-person. I am committed to the health of all adult relationships whether that be romantic or platonic, friends or family. I’m here to support folks at the crossroads of their lives such as starting or ending relationships, shifting from young to middle adulthood, exciting new endeavors, or grieving the loss of something important.

I enjoy working with couples and individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, and relational challenges. I consider much of what I do to be allowing client's to gently and curiously grow in their ability to reflect on the stories they have formed about their journey. I have a great deal of gratitude for the deep, sometimes painful, places my clients allow me to explore alongside them. Regardless of where you find yourself, I would be honored to sit with you.

You are in the right place if you are seeking to show up more authentically in your life, sort through conflict, or improve your relationships!

I am honored to work with many folks through experiences with: identity exploration, conflict, divorce, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, and difficult family dynamics. I see teens, parents, couples, families, and LGBTQ+ identified folks.

I believe in the power of therapy and I approach the therapeutic relationship with warmth and authenticity. I work hard to foster a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, supported, and free to explore, question and process. Sometimes people hope to use therapy as a space to build awareness and talk through things, other times people are looking for a space that is more skill-based, directive, and structured. Therapy is a collaborative process. As a clinician, it is important to me to help create a space that feels most beneficial for the client and their needs.

Figuring out life is not easy, especially if you're trying to do it alone. Feeling heard, understood, and cared for with someone who is authentic & compassionate can be so helpful for your health, happiness, & wellbeing. When I meet with a new client, whether as an individual, or as a couple or family, I support each person so they do not feel alone while sorting out the hard stuff that can get in the way from finding peace. I'm compassionate, understanding, and intuitive & will meet you where you are to ensure a relationship where you feel connected, safe, & empowered. Starting to create a better you is not easy. I'm here to help.

I work as a team with clients exploring current issues and how mind and body are interconnected.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults age 12 and older; treating anxiety disorders, adjustment issues/life changes/transitions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, relationship/peer issues, & depression.

I identify as a cis, straight, immigrant, Latina or Latinx woman & social worker. My work focuses on offering empathy, support, promoting insight, and working collaboratively to achieve goals.

I derive joy and meaning from helping people access their brilliant capacities for healing. My specialties are couples therapy, anxiety/OCD, chronic illness, recovery from relationship abuse, and adjustment through other changes. Each of these concerns involve journeys of re-becoming, and I help clients along these journeys with compassion, honesty, and intelligence. Even in the midst of distress and doubt, the possibilities for the journey hold so much hope.

I come to the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and openness so clients feel at ease. I believe in the power of acknowledging the challenges everyone faces and seeing the inherent strengths each individual possesses.
