Whether you’ve faced overwhelming life events or been impacted by repetitive, ongoing emotional struggles, trauma can live in the body and subconscious mind—shaping patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or emotional numbness that can be hard to understand. If you experience anxiety, depression, relational challenges, PTSD, or feel stuck in repetitive behaviors or thought spirals, these may be signs of unresolved trauma. Healing begins by bringing gentle awareness to these inner wounds and working with them in a safe, compassionate way.

Welcome to my practice. I’m glad you’re here. Being human isn’t easy, and you don't have to work through life's challenges alone. I work with clients to inspire your innate wisdom and restore a sense of wellness to your life. I seek to treat the entire person not just a narrow set of symptoms.

If we work together, the therapy process will be unique as a truthful reflection of your unique self—including your personal history, strengths, challenges, goals, and present capacity.

I specialize in individual, couple, and family therapy.
Every person has their own reasons for seeking therapy. Some choose it during a period of major life transitions or hardships, while others may seek out therapy in order to deepen their understanding of themselves. By using a psychodynamic and object relations model I am able to consider the whole person rather than pure symptom reduction. I believe there is both conscious and unconscious meaning to symptoms.

Not accepting new clients
Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

It takes immense courage to reach out when you feel disconnected or stuck in repeating patterns. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shift of motherhood, healing from relational trauma, or grappling with the weight of unresolved PTSD, you don't have to do this alone. I work with women and individuals who feel "stuck" despite having deep insight—people who are ready to stop "pushing through" and start feeling whole again. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming and focused on nervous system regulation, helping you process unfinished emotional material so you can move forward with genuine agency and clarity.

You or a loved one may be struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, loss, or life transitions (emphasis on the life part). Maybe you just need someone to ask you how you are really doing and be able to hold space for that. You may try talking yourself out of your pain or experience by telling yourself “someone else has it worse” or “I don’t deserve to be happy after everything I’ve done”. We often tell ourselves that our feelings, conflicts, or stories must look a certain way for them to deserve attention. I am committed to allowing you to show up to therapy exactly as you need to without making any changes.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
