If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.

Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.
