Clients who work with me learn to better understand their emotional triggers, work to overcome life’s setbacks, manage stress more productively, communicate with others more effectively, and set healthy boundaries. My approach involves getting to know each of my clients, beyond what has brought them into therapy. I seek to understand what your goals are for this journey, and we together discuss how I can support you in working on what can be changed, and learning to cope with people and situations that we cannot change.
Many people recognize the benefits of therapy, yet find it difficult to find an affirming, culturally responsive therapist near them. My hope is to make therapy accessible to those who would not otherwise engage in this process due to long commutes, child-care challenges, work-related travel, physical disabilities or chronic illness.
I am also a proud ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, and supporter of military service members, veterans, and their families. Additionally, I am a fluent Spanish speaker.
