My approach is structured, collaborative, and insight driven. I work with high functioning professionals and motivated individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, performance pressure, grief, or major life transitions. Many are successful in their careers yet privately overwhelmed. Using evidence-based strategies, I help you identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop practical tools that support clarity, balance, and lasting change.

Do you look “put together” on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or “not enough” on the inside? Do cultural or family expectations leave you carrying more than people realize? You’re not alone. I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical psychologist supporting adults and young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, cultural stress, trauma, and relationship patterns. My style is warm, steady, and deeply relational, a space where you can slow down and feel understood.

I believe a person’s identity, values and beliefs guide their path of healing. Therapy can be a way of liberating ourselves from limiting ideas, societal messages, oppression and isolation. I see you as the expert in your experience and collaborate with you to develop a space to learn and grow. My therapeutic approach is both systemic and person-centered with a focus on inherent strengths and resilience. I pull from relational, attachment, family systems, racial trauma and polyvagal theories while using such modalities as ACT, DBT, CBT, TCI-F and Motivational Interviewing. I also draws, when appropriate, from my own experience.

Let me tell you about my vibe, I will tell you what I tell all my clients- "Im not the fluffy" therapist but I am your biggest cheerleader. I am not the therapist who will use fancy clinical terms, but instead I use totally random analogies that will probably make you laugh or even better yet, totally understand what Im talking about. I use sarcasm and humor but can rein it in and let my empath shine through. I work with first responders, reunification clients, individuals navigating divorce, and anyone wanting help in reaching goals. I have a direct client focused style and find major purpose in helping people find their worth!

Becoming a parent, or trying to, can shake your world in ways you never expected. It can be joyful, anxiety provoking, overwhelming, or lonely, sometimes all in the same day. As a therapist with a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), I offer a calm, compassionate place for you to land. Whether you’re coping with pregnancy or postpartum challenges, birth trauma, fertility issues, pregnancy loss, or trying to find yourself again after becoming a parent, my goal is to support you with warmth and empathy. I also work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I take a relational approach to therapy, seek to create a space where safety, dignity, and the celebration of true self take precedent. I believe in finding healing through the things that are engaging and meaningful to you and so I embrace the ideas of narrative and geek therapy (yes, I believe that Dungeons and Dragons or Marvel movies can be healing and therapeutic). I also understand that personal wellness does not exist in a vacuum and am passionate about creating better conditions in institutional and social spaces to allow people the freedom and agency to discover and be their authentic selves.

Therapy should feel like a real, human conversation—one where you can exhale, show up fully, and not have to explain or mask who you are. My approach is integrative and collaborative. I draw from my training in EMDR, yoga therapy, DBT, sex therapy, and Buddhist psychology. I believe in weaving together the science of the mind with the wisdom of the body. I’m also a neuro-affirming therapist, which means I don’t hand out “shoulds” or cookie-cutter tools. What works for a neurotypical brain often doesn’t fit for a neurodivergent one—and that’s okay. Together, we figure out what actually works for you.

Remember that Friends episode when Ross invited Rachel and Joey over for a joint date night so he could pretend he was fine with them dating? He tried to convince them and himself that he is indeed "Fine". How often do you find yourself saying this or doing something similar? That you're "ok" or that you need to just keep "pushing through". I mean, really, we’ve all been there. Lack of motivation resulting in falling behind at work or other important responsibilities: “I’m fine”. Short fuse because you’re overwhelmed: “I’m fine.”

It takes courage and curiosity to begin the therapy process and I admire those who are able to do so. I believe that the psychotherapy process is greatly influenced by the therapeutic relationship. I work to collaboratively create a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding.

Being human is challenging at times. Our relationships bring us joy, and may also cause suffering. Greater opportunities and responsibilities can be exciting, and may also trigger anxiety, just as the lack of them may feed depression. Loss sears the soul, and often awakens something deep within us . I recognize that the willingness to explore life’s struggles with a spirit of curiosity and openness to change often leads to breakthroughs and greater personal fulfillment. Beginning therapy takes a certain kind of courage; the awareness that comes from engaging with how you relate to your life, in return, will profoundly nourish you.

Oftentimes the hardest part about starting therapy is initiating the first session. I prioritize safety and aim to provide an affirming space for you to show up exactly as you are.
I bring 15 years of experience working in trauma and relationships, therefore, my work is grounded in empathy and mutual respect. My approach is warm and compassionate—but also honest and direct. In individual work, I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-compassion and lead a life emphasizing your individual values. When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Couples Counseling and Attachment Theory.
