I believe we all could benefit from experiencing a Mind/Body/Spirit connection to find healing and unlock our full potential, and therapy is a way to get there. My approach is to get to know and understand you, follow your lead and adapt to your personal style and needs. I utilize a wide range of techniques, such as Client-Centered, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, IFS, and some DBT principles with mindfulness, somatic therapy and attachment theory for individuals. I also utilize EFT, the Gottman method, RLT and attachment therapy to work with couples.
I have experience with a variety of mood disorders, different kinds of depressive and anxiety disorders, attachment wounds, trauma, grief and loss, cultural challenges and life transitions, self-esteem, infertility challenges and relationship difficulties. And I am culturally competent with the Hispanic cultures and culturally sensitive to other heritages.
I love working with adolescents 17+, adults and couples, with especial interest in interracial couples and BIPOC individuals. I would be honored to walk alongside with you and look forward to be a witness of your healing journey. Hablo nativo Español al 100% y me encantaria servirte!

I am passionate about helping others thrive, not just survive, on their journey. I have a special interest in family of origin issues, pre-marriage counseling, divorce, remarriage, blended families, and codependency issues. I also specialize in grief counseling, life transitions, career development, and spiritual concerns.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with individual adults using a systemic, strengths-based, positive, solution-focused, integrative approach. For clients who are interested, I also provide Prepare/Enrich Relationship and CliftonStrengths assessments.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, or major transitions like starting a new job, entering adulthood, or adjusting to change. You don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we work together to help you gain insight, build confidence, and reconnect with your strengths. My therapeutic style is warm, patient, and flexible. I take an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to fit your needs while we move at your pace.
I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based framework. I welcome clients of all ages and enjoy helping individuals and couples through periods of personal growth, identity development, and transition.

My areas of specialty include art therapy, mindfulness, and positively focused talk therapy. I enjoy helping my clients create fulfilling and intentional lives, while leaving behind the negative beliefs that no longer serve them. As a strength-based therapist, I believe in harnessing and building upon the positive aspects of each client, with the goals of personal empowerment and overcoming current challenges.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a therapist, and you've taken that first step already. I don't know your story yet, but if you are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or loss, you don't need to go through it alone. You deserve support, comfort, and help. Whatever you're struggling with, you're invited to my office—in person or virtual—for a conversation.
I'm an open, gentle, sometimes sarcastic person. Therapy usually involves grappling with some uncomfortable feelings, but my clients and I also often joke and laugh in our meetings. I have training and experience dealing with a range of issues from grief to ADHD, but everyone's path is unique. I'd love to walk with you for as long as I can be helpful.

There’s a lot in life we can’t control, but your power to make change is greater than you think. I offer a welcoming space to discuss life’s big questions or steps toward your goals. If you’re boxed in by work pressures, family conflicts, relationship issues, or harmful habits, let’s build a plan for change. If anger or stress are causing actions that don’t match your values, let’s draft a map for navigating hard moments.
My approach is flexible and nonjudgmental. I integrate tools from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients improve communication and build comfort with tough emotions. I take a strengths-based approach to highlight the skills and resilience you already have, and take an existential view with clients exploring their purpose in the world.
