In counseling children and adolescents, I prioritize how you relate to others, how you feel, and how you behave.

I meet clients at the intersection of their Catholic faith, cultural identity, and everyday human experiences. I believe therapy should honor the whole person — including the values, relationships, traditions, and inner struggles that shape how we move through the world.

I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their emotions and better understand how their life experiences, relationships, beliefs, and personal histories influence their wellbeing.
