Are you carrying pain that others can’t see. You may feel alone, stuck in cycles of anxiety, shame, or relationship struggles that keep repeating. Often these patterns begin in environments where emotional needs weren’t fully seen or supported, leaving you in survival mode, overthinking, shutting down, or doubting yourself. Therapy can be a space to understand these patterns with compassion rather than judgment. I help adults explore the roots of these experiences and reconnect with their sense of self so they can move toward greater clarity, balance, and authenticity. I am here to help you through this in a safe space.

For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents from traumatic backgrounds, including those affected by abuse and neglect. That formative experience shaped my approach to counseling, which emphasizes understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My clinical focus includes the treatment of anxiety-related disorders—such as phobias, OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety. I also work with individuals navigating depression and challenges related to ADHD.

You go to bed at night and wake up the next morning still feeling ashamed, stuck, and afraid of not being able to reach your utmost potential. You’re harder on yourself than with others who have similiar struggles. By changing your thought process and self talk, you are then able to take action. As your therapist, we will collaborate on becoming your own best friend by creating a path in finding balance between holding yourself accountable for your own actions and beating yourself up to the point of being immobilized and isolated. My passion is walking beside you and learning ways to embrace yourself in feeling positive change.

You may find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns like overreacting in conflict, shutting down, or feeling like no matter how much you try, things don’t change.

Many of the patterns we experience in relationships are rooted in unresolved trauma & a dysregulated nervous system, not just behavior or communication.
I specialize in helping individuals & couples break unhealthy relationship cycles at the root!

Everyone needs assistance and guidance from time to time. I have spent the majority of my career in mental health working with the homeless population, youth, teens and individuals with severe mental health concerns.

Agradezco esta oportunidad para servirle. Primero que nada, es importante que sepa que tengo un gran respeto por cada persona, así como por sus circunstancias e historia. Yo me esfuerzo por alcanzar un nivel excepcional en nuestra relación terapéutica. Para esto, trato a cada cliente como único/a. Por ejemplo: Yo me enfoco en sus metas y presto muchísima atención a los métodos o técnicas de terapia con los cuales se sienta más cómodo/a (en otras palabras, mi tratamiento es personalizado y no genérico o “cookie cutter”). Como puede ver, soy completamente bilingüe (español e inglés). También tengo muchos años de experiencia.

Sometimes the people who look the strongest on the outside are carrying the heaviest emotional weight! Many of my clients are the "strong ones" in their relationships. You are the one others depend on. You care deeply, you show up, and you carry a lot. On the outside, things may look okay, but inside, you feel the weight of conflict, shame, or expectations that rarely get named. Some of my clients are healing from betrayal or relationship trauma. Others are very self aware and still feel stuck in patterns they cannot seem to shift. You are not looking for surface level tools. You want to get to the root of the issue and learn more.

Life is hard enough without being uncomfortable in your own body. It starts innocently enough: one diet doesn't work so you move to another. Before you know it, you're ashamed, frustrated, and feeling less than. In a culture that condones this, it can be difficult to know when it's a problem. Yet you know this isn't quite right. Eating can seem hard. You aren't even sure you know how to eat anymore. There has to be a different way. I assure you, there is.
