Are you and your partner feeling disconnected or caught in painful patterns? Communication may have become difficult, or stopped altogether, leaving one or both of you feeling unseen or unheard. Over time, trust in the relationship may have been shaken. I work with couples who want to repair their relationship and reconnect. In our work together, both of you will have space to feel heard and understood as we explore what’s happening and begin rebuilding trust. Even relationships that feel deeply stuck can be transformed when both partners feel truly understood.

I am trilingual—fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL)—and provide telehealth services to individuals, parents, children, adolescents, and adults.
I see therapy like a game of Jenga. When one piece shifts—in relationships, work, parenting, or self—the whole feels unstable. These shifts show where healing is needed. In our work together, we’ll explore those movements with care. The goal isn’t to “fix” the structure, but to help you rebuild it so it feels grounded, resilient, and true to you.

Life has a way of getting heavy, and often the strategies we’ve used to keep our heads above water just stop working.

I work with people who are tired of just "getting by" and are ready to figure out what a meaningful life actually looks like for them. My goal isn't just to help you manage, it’s to help you cut through the noise of daily stress to rediscover who you actually are beneath the expectations and the labels so you can move forward as your most authentic self.

The idea of finding a therapist can be daunting, especially for those who are already feeling overwhelmed. I take a low pressure approach that allows for safety while we build trust. I have a passion for working with youth; most of my clients are aged 5-35 struggling with history of trauma, frequent anxiety, and difficulties with regulating emotions and/or behaviors. That being said, I’ve recently done some wonderful work with older adults as well. I am especially passionate about helping individuals who have had difficulty enjoying therapy previously, as I believe sessions should typically feel empowering rather than upsetting.
