Therapy can be that support we need and a safe space to share and explore new possibilities. I am a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have experience working with children, adolescents and Adults. I enjoy empowering clients by assisting them in identifying and managing difficult emotions, negative thoughts/believes and unhealthy coping styles. I work collaboratively with my clients in developing a treatment plan based on their current needs and expectations for therapy.

As someone who has been in the field for almost a decade, I have been honored to work with many different clients in many different scenarios and environments. I am able to listen to the details, and minutia of everyday life, but also keen on seeing the big picture and working collaboratively with (all)interfacing systems for the betterment of you.

If you have relationship problems, there seems to be this dominant cultural narrative that assumes something is wrong with you.

If this speaks to you, let's connect.

My goal is to improve the mental health of those who experience depression, anxiety, have a history of trauma, those that are having a difficult time coping with life’s challenges, and are motivated to make some changes in their lives. My approach as a clinician is person centered, solution-focused, and skills-based. My process aims to support people by creating a safe space where they can reflect on how their life is going and to think about the constructive changes they want to see happen in their lives, while providing some skills that can help them in their journey.

I work with people who often have an issue or problem which prevents them from fully functioning in life, which affects their ability to be happy. This might be a relationship issue, a personality problem which has bothered them from childhood, or a bio-psycho-social issue like depression or anxiety. I seek to help people by developing a relationship in which we can work in a therapeutic modality that is appropriate for them.

Each life transition or stage can bring a combination of uncertainty and hope. Impactful life transitions include moments of processing loss and dealing with grief. Oftentimes, these moments bring on feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and loneliness. My job is to offer a secure space to help you through these powerful feelings and difficult times. In practicing from a strengths-based or client-centered lens, some of the most profound moments have been guiding clients to discover their resilience, strengths, and abilities to cope with presenting challenges. Clients of all backgrounds and identities are welcome in my practice.
