If you feel like you have to be the strong one for everyone else but inside you’re overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a space where you actually don’t have to hold it all together. I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Latina therapist who specializes in supporting BIPOC and first-generation individuals, including those healing from sexual trauma, PTSD, family or cultural pressures, anxiety, and relationship issues. My approach is collaborative, culturally aware, and grounded in helping you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to create a safe space for your healing.

When I think about life and growth, lyrics from a Grateful Dead song feel relevant: "Sometimes the light's all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately, it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been." This trip of life we're on can often be overwhelming, uncertain, full of highs and lows, and difficult transitions. Therapy can be a valuable support system to help process these wide-ranging experiences and their impacts while navigating how to cope so that we can cultivate full, meaningful lives.

Have you often felt like dumbo was sitting on your chest, deep breaths were nearly impossible to take, and tension you barely realized you were holding in your body made you sore the next morning?

Some days even feel like an imposter in your own skin…wishing things were different but feeling helpless? You are never helpless. You can confront these narratives and begin healing. You can finally release your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and find support and I am here to help you.

My ideal clients are men, healthcare workers, and early-career professionals who are tired of carrying something they haven't had the right space to put down. They often come in navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a quiet sense that they've lost touch with who they are. Some have never been to therapy before. What they share is a readiness, even if it's uncomfortable, to be honest. That's all I need to get started.

I invite you to bring your unabashed true self to the therapy room by fostering humor, curiosity and compassion. I look beyond “presenting problems” and symptoms to intimate relationships and how the greater context of your world impacts functioning and well-being.
For the past two decades, I have integrated ritual, mindfulness, and somatic movement into my professional life. I embrace a humanistic and holistic approach, focusing on enhancing self-compassion, improving communication, and fostering congruence within clients and their relationships. I am also trained in Gottman (couples) and EMDR (trauma).

I welcome all parts of your story. Most people come to therapy wanting to be seen, to feel relief, and to regain hope. I believe change is possible and have witnessed it many times. You don’t have to face this alone. Together, we can create the safety and clarity needed to navigate life’s challenges. You can rebuild connection with yourself, heal old wounds, feel more present in your body, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and worth living.

I prefer holistic (whole-person), client centered approaches in order to help clients effectively identify problem areas and create steps to resolve issues and I frequently pull from the Gottman method and from Brainspotting.
I love helping clients make sense of their hidden stories and experiences. Often, these create chaos, make us unsure, and throw us off balance. I believe that everyone needs a comfortable place to rediscover balance and wholeness through unraveling their stories. While I see a variety of clients, I love married couples struggling with intimacy, mixed neurotype couples, adhd, autism, as well as singles and women who have experienced sexual trauma. I also have experience with Homeschool culture and the struggles and wins of the music industry. I offer flexible office hours including Saturdays.

I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients living in Tennessee, Florida, Arizona, and Wisconsin for weekday daytime telehealth appointments.
My mission is for each client to find their true self and voice and see that so many of our negative storylines and scripts are just programming we have picked up throughout our lives. My heart is to follow each client's lead on where he or she needs to go versus my own agenda and/or preferences. I believe that it is in allowing space for our experiences of our full humanity that we realize that at our most fundamental level our essence is actually good and true.

I work with adult individuals and couples who are high-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed. Many are high achievers, codependent, or emotionally immature, and find themselves stuck in anxiety-driven or unbalanced relationship patterns. They suppress needs, manage others’ emotions, and say "I'm fine"—until resentment, anger, or shutdown takes over. My approach is past-aware, present-focused, and skill-based. Together, we interrupt patterns, regulate the nervous system, and turn insight into real-life change—especially in relationships. If your brain feels loud and tired of spiraling, snapping, or overgiving, this work is for you!

Trainings completed: Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 training, Emotions Focused Therapy for Couples Externship (the gold standard for couples therapy), and Healing Our Core Issues Level 1.
Congrats! You've taken a huge step beginning to find the right counselor for you. You are so brave. Counseling with me starts with education. I want to equip you with the "therapy language" first, so you know exactly what it means to say words like attachment, codependence, trauma, mindfulness, and more. Next, I'll equip you with those practical tools you're looking for, like grounding & breathing exercises that you can start implementing into your daily life right away. I'll offer resources along the way and lots of handouts! (Can you tell I was a teacher in a previous life?!) Then, we'll look at your story...
