I work with individuals and couples navigating the complexities of relationships, whether in monogamous or polyamorous partnerships. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients exploring their gender or sexual identity, addressing unique challenges, or seeking a knowledgeable queer therapist. Additionally, I help those who have experienced trauma or are undergoing significant life transitions, such as coping with loss or adjusting to major life changes.

I am a bilingual, Latinx, Jewish, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to support and guide you as you navigate your therapeutic journey, drawing on your own insights and experiences.

I adapt my approach to fit your unique goals and needs, using therapeutic methods based on what works best for you. Whether you’re addressing trauma, strengthening interpersonal relationships, navigating life changes, or seeking personal insight, I’m here to support you every step of the way as you discover new possibilities for yourself and your future!
