Therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted, understood, and comfortable showing up exactly as you are. You are the expert on your experiences and therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to better understand what's going on and identify what might help. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, dissociation, self-harm, identity exploration, and life transitions. As an LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming therapist, I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment for self-exploration.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those recovering from substance use, ex-convicts, individuals who have experienced homelessness, combat veterans, victims of sexual assault, and at-risk youth. Additionally, I have supported individuals without criminal records, severe trauma, or military experience. Life can be challenging, and everyone needs help sometimes. I treat each client as a unique individual, focusing on their personal story rather than their diagnosis. My goal is to help people achieve balance and equilibrium in daily life.

My goal is to help each of my clients experience self-acceptance, growth and healing in their particular context. I specialize in treating relationships and communication issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional trauma, but welcome other areas of focus as well. My clients can expect to find a safe, judgement-free atmosphere where we can journey together toward lasting solutions. I take cues from my clients to determine how quickly we move forward and in which manner. Together, we can better understand the internal structures driving behavior, and chart a course toward growth and health.

I carry a calm, supportive energy that allows you to show up as who you are, with all of the challenges that you have been carrying. However, these challenges do not necessarily define us when we are given the choice of what to embrace and of which we would like to let go. You have made the first step so far, which is taking the courage to reach out. I approach counseling from a resilience and strength-based lens, which not only aims to help you uncover the barriers that you have been carrying, but also envisions the many places of empowerment that your strength and resilience can be manifested. Welcome to my space.

In my work as a therapist and organizational consultant over the last 35+ years, I have assisted youth, adults, families, and organizations in reducing barriers to and facilitating elements of healthy growth, functioning, and the achievement of goals.

It takes a special kind of courage to ask for help. Whether we have had a hardship sneak up on us, or been wrestling with it for a lifetime, expressing out loud a need for assistance is an act of bravery. I have been working as mental health counselor and psychotherapist since 2014, and in that time I’ve been honored to witness these acts of bravery from adolescents, adults of all ages, and families. I believe that our experiences matter and are worth talking about.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. These challenges can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and your life, as though you have little control over your life. Over time, it may begin to feel like you're simply moving through life rather than actively living it. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can work together to explore the person you want to become, strengthen your sense of self, and identify the resilience and strengths you already possess. Together, we can build the tools and confidence needed to create a life that aligns with your values and goals.

I am a daughter of immigrants; a daughter of the diaspora; a wounded healer; an intellectual, spiritual, and queer Chingonx. These are a few identities that influence how I interact / experience the world around me, and stories attached to them: past and present. In my therapeutic work, I continue to work towards decolonization of both my healing practices and myself. My healing work is inherited; I come from a lineage of people seeking healing. Professionally, I started healing work with young people as a case manager, advocate, and mental health counselor in 2016.

My clients are self-aware but feel stuck. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship stress, low self-esteem, or pressure from work, school, or family. They want real change, not quick fixes. They are looking for a space that feels safe while also encouraging growth. Their goals drive them to understand their habits, manage their emotions more effectively, communicate clearly, and build healthier relationships. They are seeking the comfort of a confidant; someone who will help carry that weight, and maybe have a few laughs along the way. Ultimately, they are ready to break old cycles and create something different.
