Hey! Whether you are new to therapy or not, I commend you for the bravery and patience it takes to start searching. I hope that you will find I could be of service to you. In both my professional and personal journey, I have sought to learn how to find more peace, happiness, and fulfillment.

Expressive healing targets the whole person: mind, body and soul. Often times we face daily stress that compiles and when stress goes unmanaged it gets stored within us. Maybe you find yourself unable to sleep. Or perhaps stress gets stuck within your body and you experience chronic tension. If you’re consumed by worry or fears negatively affecting your quality of life and the attempts made with managing stress aren't providing the results you hoped for, you're not alone. Together we will work to address what systems have been in place in an effort to manage stress and assess the effectiveness while incorporating new coping skills.

Depression, PTSD, and substance use can make it hard to feel connected—to others, to the world, and even to yourself. When you're caught in the heaviness of these experiences, it can feel like no one truly sees what you're carrying. My decision to become a therapist was shaped by watching loved ones navigate both substance use and mental health challenges. I wanted to understand their pain and learn how to offer the kind of support that truly makes a difference. I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Latino Mental Health from Antioch University (2017) and work with teens and adults ages 14+.
