I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults, couples and adolescents navigating life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and have additional training in EMDR. I offer services in both English and Spanish, creating a space where clients can express themselves comfortably and authentically. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and understood.
I have a Master's degree in Social Work and have worked for many years in Florida and Arizona helping adults with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, healing from PTSD trauma and addictions.
I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.
My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, but honestly, my credentials are just the beginning. What I bring to every session is genuine care and the understanding that getting here probably wasn't simple — most people have been struggling quietly for longer than they'd like to admit. So if you're reading this, I want you to know: reaching out was brave, and you're in a safe place to grow.

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.
Your story deserves to be heard — exactly the way you want to tell it.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma-informed care, with certification in EMDR therapy. I work with adolescents and adults (ages 14+) navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD — using an individualized approach that adapts to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong, trusting connection. My focus is on creating a calming, safe, and comfortable environment where you feel genuinely understood — never judged — and free to explore your own story at your own pace.
