I am honored to be part of your healing and growth journey. I work with adults of all ages and couples to build on strengths, improve communication, and develop tools to persevere through challenges. My approach is built on the therapeutic relationship we create together and the unconditional positive regard I hold for my clients. I will help you cultivate greater self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. I love laughing with my clients, cheering them on in their journey, and helping them develop the necessary skills and insight to accomplish their goals.

I am fully certified in EMDR and have found the modality to be a powerful way of addressing trauma and getting un-stuck from narratives that no longer serve us. I am passionate about supporting the lgbtqpia+ community as they navigate systems and spaces that are often not designed for them. Ofrezco terapia en español para individuales y parejas.

I look forward to connecting with you!
