My ideal clients are adults, teens, couples, and members of the LGBTQ+ and Latino communities who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, anger, or communication struggles. They may feel stuck or overwhelmed, but they are open to learning, growing, and practicing new skills both in and outside of therapy. I value working with people who want to strengthen relationships, manage stress, and build resilience while having a safe and supportive space to be themselves.
I help clients feel supported, safe, and understood while working through challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, and the impact of trauma. I have experience supporting active duty service members, veterans, survivors of sexual assault, high-risk youth, and individuals with developmental disabilities. My goal is to meet you where you are.
I provide a supportive space where you can feel understood and not alone. My approach is holistic and tailored, drawing from CBT, DBT, family systems, trauma-informed care, somatic practices, and couples therapy. Together, we’ll build resilience, explore patterns, and foster meaningful growth in your life and relationships.
