There are many different therapy styles, but what matters most is that your child or teen feels understood, supported, and safe. I work to build a genuine, trusting relationship where kids and adolescents can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. My goal is to create a space where growth feels possible and insight can develop naturally. I have experience supporting children and teens with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions, using cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches.

Are you navigating a major life change, coping with illness, or carrying the weight of grief and loss? Do you find yourself feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or struggling with the challenges of relationships, parenting, or young adulthood? I offer a warm, empathic space where you can feel understood and supported as you make sense of your experiences and discover new ways forward. I work with adults across the lifespan, including adolescents and young adults, and have particular experience supporting people facing cancer and chronic illness, bereavement, and difficult transitions.

Are you looking for a therapist who will truly meet you where you are, honoring your story, your culture, and your unique way of moving through the world? I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) therapist offering a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I believe healing happens when we tend to the whole person: mind, body, and heart, and recognize how deeply connected they are.

Are you feeling stuck in a pattern you can’t quite understand? Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, or difficult emotions even when things seem “fine” on the outside? Maybe you’re navigating a transition in your relationships, identity, school, or career and aren’t sure how to move forward. You may want to understand yourself more deeply, feel more secure in your relationships, and develop a greater sense of self-compassion. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and explore what may be underneath it.

Welcome! I’m Lennie. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ communities, particularly those who are transgender and gender nonconforming, and those healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, coping with cancer and chronic illnesses, and those healing their relationship with food and body image. I believe that there is no one “right” path to recovery and healing, and that everyone has the right to pursue an enjoyable quality of life. Regardless of whether you are searching for therapy for the hundredth time or for the first time, whether you have specific goals in mind or just want to try it out and see if it works for you!

What brings you here? What do you desire to better understand and improve about your life, leveraging your unique strengths and values in the process? Many people find themselves repeating behaviors and relational patterns that they don’t fully understand, with family, friends, partners, colleagues or others. Therapeutic reflection builds the insight that illuminates underlying emotions, the processing of which is often necessary to truly address root causes. Our past often bears relevance to our present. At its best, therapy can not only offer coping skills and alleviate symptoms but also promote sustainable change.
