I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals across the lifespan.

Feeling "stuck" is one of the most frustrating human experiences, but it’s often the starting point for meaningful change. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. My career began in private practice in 2008, followed by years of dedicated service to active-duty military members and veterans. This background has given me a deep, specialized understanding of resilience, trauma, and the unique pressures faced by high-performing individuals.

You deserve a life that isn’t defined by guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to be everything for everyone.

Many of my clients are exhausted from being the responsible one. They're the problem-solver, the caretaker, the one who keeps it together. Everyone seems to need something from them, and somehow they're expected to handle it all without dropping a ball.

Meanwhile, they're battling anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, overthinking, relationship stress, or the feeling that they've lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.

As a bilingual English and Spanish therapist, I work with people who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start understanding what's actually keeping them stuck. Therapy with me isn't about pretending everything is fine or endlessly talking in circles. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, learning new ways of responding to life's challenges, and creating meaningful change.

Welcome. Seeking support can feel difficult, especially when you're managing overwhelming emotions, relationship stress, painful experiences, or simply feeling disconnected from the life you want to live. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, PTSD, women's issues, and challenges related to self-esteem, life transitions, and relationships. I understand that healing looks different for everyone, and I believe therapy should provide a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. Whether you're struggling with day-to-day stress, navigating the impact of past experiences, or trying to make sense of difficult emotions, my goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Together, we can create meaningful change while honoring your unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and have extensive experience supporting clients of all ages, including children, teens, families, and couples. My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate trauma, build healthier emotional relationships, and develop tools for resilience. I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can heal, grow, and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
