Are you running an emotional marathon? Do the bandaids on your emotional wounds keep falling off? I will hold space for whatever is standing in the way of living life on your terms. I am committed to supporting my clients open-heartedly and without judgement. I work with people ages 10 and up and have a special interest in supporting those who have been in relationship with people who have narcissistic traits; additionally, I am trained in EMDR. I enjoy exploring tendencies like overthinking and perfectionism, as reworking those patterns can be game-changing.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating codependency, trauma, relational conflict, and identity exploration. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overly responsible for others’ emotions. Together, we work to untangle these patterns, fostering a sense of self-trust, autonomy, and healthy relationships. I also support LGBTQIA+ individuals (14+ y/o) facing identity-related stress, family dynamics, and societal pressures. As a queer person in the South, I know how vital affirming spaces are, and I strive to provide one where you can explore your authentic self.

Each of us navigates our unique set of experiences. Some carry deep-rooted trauma, while others grapple with the everyday complexities of 'normal' life. At times, we might downplay our struggles, thinking that someone out there has it worse than we do. It's a common sentiment, and if you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I work with folks feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or questioning their reality after difficult relationships, major life transitions, or long-standing emotional stress. They may be navigating anxiety, mood changes, identity shifts, or the impact of betrayal or emotionally harmful dynamics, and are seeking clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of self-trust. With over 14 years of combined experience in education, social work, and mental health, I offer a collaborative, compassionate space to explore these experiences, make meaning of what you’ve been through, and move toward greater stability, growth, and healing.

Life challenges can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying unspoken pain, cultural expectations and pressures. I was born in Mexico and raised in the U.S., and I know firsthand the complexity of moving between worlds and identities. These experiences deeply inform my work and help create a therapeutic space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. I approach therapy with the belief that healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore all parts of ourselves. Whether you're wanting to work through life’s challenges, personal/generational trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns you don’t quite understand-

If a part of you is feeling intimidated by therapy and another part is trying to talk yourself out of needing it, you’re in good company. Before becoming a therapist myself, I sat in the client’s chair—both in individual and couples counseling. I’ve experienced firsthand the courage it takes to find the right therapist, risk vulnerability with a stranger, and step into the unknown.

Anxious in love? Do you overthink, constantly wonder, "what if?" and worry that the next disagreement will end it all? Does this leave you feeling like you're "too much"? I’d be honored to help you (or you and your partner) reconnect with yourselves and each other, build secure love, confidence, and self-compassion. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most researched approaches for couples therapy with 30+ years of empirical support. I may be biased but I think it's the greatest model for couples work. Red Therapy Group is an EFT practice that prioritizes continued learning and EFT-specific supervision.

You’ve made a courageous step by seeking support. Life is hard and can be deeply painful. You may deal with this pain in a variety of ways, some helpful and some less helpful, or may be at a crossroads in your life where things that used to work no longer do. We are all affected by trauma both large and small. These can causes depression and anxiety and other stress responses in the body.

You may appear capable and put together on the outside while quietly carrying the impact of trauma, sexual abuse, or betrayal. Relationships might feel confusing or intense. Trust may feel fragile. You may find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t fully make sense. You’re not broken. These patterns often began as ways to survive. I specialize in complex PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, and betrayal trauma. I work with individuals and couples navigating the effects of trauma and infidelity, helping them move from survival patterns toward secure connection and self-trust.
