I am an associate clinical social worker at Aloha Psych Associates providing individual therapy to adults and am open to working with adolescents. I am inspired by the “aloha spirit,” drawing on Hawaiian concepts like ‘alo’ (presence), ‘ha’ (breath of life), ‘mana’ (healing energy), and ‘ohana’ (family and connectedness). If you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected with yourself, I am passionate about helping clients feel empowered and supporting them in reconnecting with themselves while building on their existing strengths.
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and challenges related to identity. I support clients, especially individuals within the Latino community and senior population, in exploring who they are, navigating life transitions, and developing a more grounded and connected sense of self.
I strive to provide care that is culturally responsive and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Outside of my professional work, I spend my free time boxing, walking, traveling, reading, expanding my music library, and spending time with my loved ones, including my dog.
