Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Together, we'll nurture your goals and help you reconnect with your true self to strengthen your emotional growth. I offer warmth, compassion, honesty and respect. My approach is Person Center, Attachment and Strength-Based, integrating Solution Focus and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with adults and teens navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, identity, grief, relationship dynamics and life transitions. Each session honors your pace, your story and your journey towards healing and emotional well being.
I help clients navigate current challenges, heal unresolved experiences, strengthen coping skills and self confidence. Together, we focus on challenging unhelpful thoughts, and replacing them with healthier thoughts & actions. My goal is to help you find your voice, nurture your strengths and deepen your understanding of yourself.
I recognize and embrace the diversity, journeys, and strengths we each have. I am a bicultural therapist and I provide services in English and Spanish. It is my goal to support you through your journey and strengthen your emotional health. Please contact me by phone or email for questions or to schedule an appointment for a free twenty-minute consultation.
