I work primarily with adults and young adults suffering with trauma, using EMDR alongside CBT and solution-focused and person-centered approaches that support real change. Something uncomfortable brought you here. You may have tried to move forward and found that something still lingers. You understand what’s going on, but it hasn’t shifted in a meaningful way. My clients come ready to do real work and to find relief. I meet each person as a whole person, not as a diagnosis or as a presenting problem. Our focus is on what hasn’t moved and why, so you’re not just managing symptoms but creating genuine, lasting movement forward.

The people I've been able to help most feel stuck and seek direction in recovering an assured sense of who they are and their potential. We are all creatures of adaptation, and many of us learn early on to adjust to whatever the world asks of us. In modern times this can too easily lead to information overload, causing us to internalize the priorities of our parents, peers, and culture - agendas that don't always serve our own interests. This disconnection from our authentic selves often leads to anxiety, depression, and career dissatisfaction.

You don’t have to do this alone. Life can feel heavy at times — overwhelming, confusing, or isolating. You may feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from others, or unsure how to move forward. You want relief, clarity, and support without judgment or pressure. You are not broken — you are responding to life, and healing is possible. I offer a warm, collaborative therapy space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we work toward healing, balance, and meaningful change at a pace that honors your unique story and strengths. While the work can be challenging, you will never be expected to face it alone.

My experience working in the helping professions ranges from public schools to private practice. As well as a therapist, I am a mother; a partner in a bi-cultural household; the daughter of a single immigrant mom; and currently a care provider to my aging parent. Apart from family and work, I focus on political activism and community development projects in Mexico.
I work best with clients who believe in change. Our work might focus on removing the grasp that worry and fear have on them or on removing other obstacles to well being such as grief, oppression, resentment, life transitions, unhealthy relationships, and self-doubt.

Their goals include reclaiming joy, building self-trust, and living with more authenticity. They want therapy that sees the whole person — not just symptoms — and meets them where they are.

Many people who reach out for therapy have spent a long time pushing through difficult emotions while managing family expectations, cultural responsibilities, and major life stressors.

We all have work to do. We don't have to do it alone. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, I explore with my clients their dreams, artwork, relationships, and daily life experiences, to bring light and insight to blockages and barriers to their full experience and enjoyment of life. Such blockages can be past trauma, incorrect embedded beliefs, injured parts, and/or ingrained thought patterns and habits. Once these things are processed and/or healed, new ways forward can be nurtured.

Life can get tough. Let’s figure it out together.
I work with people going through difficult times and big transitions — the kind that leave you wondering how you got here and what comes next? From job transitions to caring for aging parents, feeling “stuck”, to new relationships, or raising neurodiverse kids to planning for retirement.
