Choosing the right therapist is an important step, and I'd like to share a little about the clients I serve to help you decide whether we'd be a good fit. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are navigating challenges in their relationships. Whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or even your relationship with yourself, our connections often have a significant impact on how we think, feel, and move through the world. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy are rooted in feeling disconnected, hurt, or stuck in repeating patterns, and I find it meaningful to help clients create healthier relationships. My own journey has required grit, resilience, and the willingness to rise again and again, and those experiences shape the way I sit with others in their pain, their uncertainty, and their becoming.

I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.

With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.
I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.
I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.
I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.

If you're an adult navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship stress — and maybe feeling like
no one quite understands where you're coming from — you're in the right place. I've been
practicing for 15 years across community and clinical settings, working with adults and older
adults on mood, relationships, and the weight of everyday life. I'm bilingual in English and
Spanish, and having lived abroad myself, I genuinely enjoy working with people from a wide
range of cultural backgrounds. You don't have to explain your world to me — I'm here to
understand it.

I believe the relationship between a client and therapist is most important. It takes courage to show up and be honest about where you are and I take that trust seriously. My job is to show up just as honestly, and to meet you exactly where you are in this moment of your life.
