Welcome! Hola! If you have been putting in the hard work all your life, expecting to feel fulfilled, stress-free, and just plain happy- but instead find yourself feeling exhausted, silenced, or experiencing self-doubt; know that you are not alone. And if you are nodding along, then you are definitely in the right place. You are here seeking support because you want to change that. No more feeling confused, stuck, or trying to fit into spaces that weren’t exactly made with you in mind. It is time to find your voice, increase your confidence, feel grounded, and own your sense of self and truth.
Nature soothes the mind, lowers stress, and boosts mood, offering a refreshing escape from daily pressures and fostering mental well-being.
I specialize in compassionate, collaborative therapy grounded in trauma-informed care and multicultural understanding. I create a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and more. I believe in empowering you and reclaiming your identity. Together, we'll find solutions and foster resilience and growth together.
Grounded in kindness, genuine care, and a touch of humor, I bring years of clinical skills to our work together. You are the expert of your life, and I'm here to offer expertise in therapy to help us find relief and balance. Together, we'll navigate challenges with empathy and practical strategies, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
