I am a bilingual social worker and clinician specializing in individual outpatient therapy. Among my areas of expertise are individuals who are struggling with issues of functionality, relationships, identity, self-esteem and other manifestations of life challenges. I have a focus on multicultural populations and individuals who are seeking a space to integrate their psychedelic experiences. Many people are exploring their internal landscapes with the use of psychedelics and these experiences can be intense and challenging to integrate into the psyche without consciously doing so.

I approach counseling with compassion and curiosity, with the goal of offering space for others to work through difficult emotions and experiences. I encourage those I work with to show the same curiosity and compassion toward themselves as I know this work can be challenging at times, but also exceptionally rewarding. I utilize psychodynamic techniques in therapy, which are targeted toward helping people understand how their unique history affects their present lives and relationships. Through this insight individuals can find healing and become more equipped to make the lasting changes they want to see in their life.

Do you feel like you are in the same relationships all the time no matter who you are with? Perhaps experiencing attachment to unhealthy patterns and/or people? Maybe you had an unpleasant medical experience and now fear care. Perhaps you look in the mirror and don't feel your best. Maybe you have difficulty saying "no" and lean towards "people-pleasing" tendencies. Because people would be mad at you, right? Do you have difficulty with boundaries? Maybe some FOMO or isolating in your sweats watching Netflix but you want more social interactions? If you answered yes to any or all of these, you are in the right place!

Sometimes, even when things look fine on the outside, it’s a struggle to feel okay on the inside. You might feel disconnected, like you're going through the motions, weighed down by anxiety, past experiences, or self-doubt. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns that no longer feel like you or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough or being enough. If you're longing for more clarity, ease, self-acceptance, and a deeper connection to who you are - you’re not alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with yourself, your needs, and what truly matters to you.

I believe counseling is a deeply personal space where you take the risk to explore internally what you need to grow and thrive, as well as explore the different pains that may get in the way of you changing. My counseling approach is client-centered, multicultural, and psychodynamic, which means If you choose to work with me I will tend to focus on how past relationships, experiences and cultural messages have shaped you as a person and have gotten you to where you are today. That way you can intentionally decide how you want to move forward and gain tools to make the changes that help improve your wellbeing and get you to thriving.

As women, we carry so much, from expectations and responsibilities to the silent pressures of daily life. Maybe you’re a teen or college student trying to figure out who you are while balancing school, relationships, and your future. Maybe you’re building your career, feeling the weight of perfectionism and burnout. Or maybe you’re a mom, giving so much of yourself to others that you’ve forgotten how to care for you. No matter where you are in your journey, your struggles are valid, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
