You may look like you have it all together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Maybe you're facing major life changes, struggling with perfectionism or carrying the weight of trauma.

Living well should be about more than just coping with pain! So many of us struggle for years with anxiety, depression, loneliness, "scattered"-ness and difficulty finding and keeping good relationships. Good therapy helps people develop internal resources, gain trust in themselves, and clarify what really matters to them so they can build rich and rewarding lives. As your partner in that process, my goal is to help you overcome obstacles and get tangible results that last!

The people I work with tend to be deeply feeling, thoughtful, and insightful humans who are looking for more than surface level solutions. These people often think and feel even to the point of overwhelm—and want to understand themselves in a way that leads to real change. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and emotional experiences that are keeping you stuck in anxiety, depression, disconnection, uncertainty, or just that frustrating sense of “meh. We will explore and discover ways to connect deeper to yourself and those you want to be in community with.

Hi! I am glad you are here. Reaching out for support can be a vulnerable step for many, and you deserve to be met wherever you are in your therapy journey with compassion and enthusiasm. As an autistic and Latina member of the LGBTQ+ community, I value creating a safe environment to explore whatever challenges you may be facing. Because no person is one-size-fits-all, I believe in using a multitude of therapeutic approaches. I use elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), person-centered therapy, and dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) in sessions. I have also received training in Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR).
