Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life forgot to give you the instruction manual? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, past relationships, or unhealthy patterns, you don’t have to do it alone. Life is messy, but seeking support is a powerful step toward healing. As a bilingual LMFT with 10+ years of experience, I offer a safe, judgment-free space to help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges (yes, even the really complicated ones). Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—let’s figure this out together.
I use an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs. As an EMDR-certified therapist, I help clients heal from trauma and break unhealthy patterns. With CBT, ACT, and DBT, we’ll build coping skills without the therapy jargon overload. I’m Level 2 Gottman-trained, helping couples communicate—because love shouldn’t feel like a debate match.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating—like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. Healing takes time, but with the right support, change is possible. Whether you need relief, clarity, or just someone who truly listens (without judgment), I’m here. Let’s connect—I’d love to hear your story.

I use EMDR to help clients process and heal from trauma, reducing the emotional weight of past experiences. Instead of just talking through pain, EMDR rewires how the brain stores distressing memories, making them less overwhelming. I also integrate CBT, DBT, and ACT to help reframe negative thoughts, build coping skills, and develop resilience for lasting change.
