Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or a constant sense of pressure can make life feel exhausting. Many of my clients have connected with me to seek therapy when panic, perfectionism, trauma, eating concerns, or body image distress begin to interfere with relationships, work, and self-worth. Others are navigating identity shifts, the quiet weight of grief and loss, faith deconstruction, or the lingering impact of past experiences. Some feel caught in patterns they don’t yet fully understand. Often, there isn’t one clear problem - just a growing sense that something needs to change.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves quality mental health care. My practice includes individuals from young age up. My background in child development ensures that my clients receive developmentally appropriate care. With child client’s, art therapy, games, or other creative strategies can provide a less structured yet evidenced based approach to achieve therapeutic goals. Working with adults has strengthened my abilities in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders/body dysmorphia, and identity issues.

Accepting new clients! If you’re experiencing shame, guilt, or crippling perfectionism, I would like to help. You may feel stuck, wrestling with constant self-criticism or struggling with the same damaging ideas for years making self-acceptance impossible. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to endure it alone. I hope to create a space where you feel safe to share your story, support you in navigating the most painful parts, and ultimately help you find healing and wholeness. While we can’t change the past, we can shape its impact on our present and future.

I practice from an empathetic and solution-motivated style looking to support individuals who are motivated to take steps to manage their anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors and/or negative self talk. I specialize in both cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy working to challenge negative thoughts, daily rumination, and challenge/replace self-defeating beliefs. I help individuals identify what they can and cannot control, set healthy boundaries and begin to take steps in self-compassion.

Life is hard, and it helps to speak with someone about what we are dealing with. Societal changes and expectations can cause a lot of stress, anxiety, and worry. Additionally, we can get caught up in situations and make missteps that cause us worry or anxiety. This is true for all people, and men and adolescent boys trying to navigate competing expectations put on us by family, society, and work often find it difficult to talk about their thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental environment. As such, my work focuses on adult and adolescent males. They may be experiencing depression, dealing with a trauma, or anxiety.

I view therapy as a space to show up honestly, without needing to filter yourself or perform. Sessions are collaborative and focused on making sense of difficult feelings, strengthening boundaries, and offering thoughtful, mutual feedback along the way. As a Latina counselor, I value identity, intersectionality, and autonomy as fundamental to the therapeutic process, understanding concerns through the lens of cultural context and lived experience. Rather than focusing on fixing or pathologizing, we focus on slowing things down, noticing patterns, and building clarity around values and boundaries.

Hi there! Most people don’t come to therapy because life is “kind of hard”—they come because something isn’t working anymore. If you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or holding it together on the outside while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside, you’re not alone. I work with people who are used to pushing through stress, carrying responsibility, and staying functional even when it’s costing them. My approach is real, relational, and practical. I’m less interested in “fixing” you and more focused on helping you slow down and reconnect with what you actually need—not just what’s expected of you.
