In today’s world, many adults feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—often juggling demanding roles while navigating stress, anxiety, perfectionism, sadness, and self-doubt. I enjoy working with parents, college students, young professionals, and high-achievers who appear to have it all together but may feel isolated, exhausted, or burned out behind the scenes. My clients often seek support navigating major life transitions, such as identity development, role changes, and the challenges of parenthood.

I work with young teens and young adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck. Many of the people I support are navigating school pressure, work stress, family expectations, identity exploration, or major life transitions. Even when things appear “okay” on the outside, you may feel unsure how to manage your emotions or feel disconnected from yourself and others. I enjoy working with clients who are open to self-exploration and growth, even when the process feels challenging at times.

Life can be hard and messy, especially modern life. Therapy is an opportunity to pause, seek clarity on where we're stuck or what we're going through, and find a way forward. As a psychologist with 14 years of experience providing individual therapy, I’m particularly interested in how our past shapes our present-day patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting and in experimenting with new, more helpful ways of relating to our self and our world. I feel I'm especially attuned to working with anxiety, shame, complex trauma, chronic worrying or "overthinking", grief, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

Seeking support can be really tough. Especially if we have a worry we'll not be heard, or appreciated for who we are. I am a licensed mental health professional, holding a Master of Social Work degree from the University of New Hampshire, and I am driven by a deep passion for fostering individual mental wellness. That can mean something different for everyone. My commitment is to create a space where you don't just feel "heard," but where you feel seen, valued, and and your potential is recognized.

Therapy can be casual or intense (often, it's both!). It’s okay if you’re not yet sure about exactly what you need. We’ll work together in a way that feels real and tailored to you, focusing on lasting growth over quick fixes. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve supported people through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues—or simply the desire for a more fulfilling life. You don’t have to settle for feeling “fine.” Wanting more isn't just not okay—it’s natural.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or carrying more than you let people see? You're not alone. As a Christian counselor, I blend faith-based support with practical tools that help you navigate real-life challenges, not just talk about them. As a first-generation Latina and a mom, I understand the pressure of balancing family expectations, cultural values, faith, relationships, and the everyday demands of life. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, major life changes, self-doubt, and experiences that may have left them feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or even their faith.
