I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the field I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, adjustment and the complex emotional impact of narcissistic and antagonistic relationships. I am also deeply committed to acknowledging and addressing cultural and racial experiences that often shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

My work is grounded in building trust and creating a safe, warm environment where you are met with compassion—not judgment. I believe healing begins when you feel heard, understood, and supported exactly where you are. Together, we will work at a pace that honors your story, personal experiences and your strengths, focusing on building emotional clarity, resilience, and empowerment along the way.

My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX, CO, and PA, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in ME, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in OH.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry.

My clinical background includes experience in adult psychiatry and pediatric mental health, working with children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and school or social stressors. I use evidence-based medication management combined with psychoeducation, supportive guidance, and collaboration with therapists, schools, and families when helpful.

I’m drawn to this work because I genuinely enjoy connecting with young people and helping them grow into healthier, more confident versions of themselves.

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style that supports clients in navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.

Life can look completely fine on the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, BFRBs, ADHD, OCD, neurodivergence, self-worth, loneliness, relationship patterns, dating, or simply the feeling that something isn't quite right.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether something has been weighing on you for years, you're feeling stuck, or you've just started noticing life feels harder than it used to, you deserve support. There doesn't have to be a "good enough" reason to reach out—if it's important to you, it's important.

Whether you're brand new to therapy or you've tried it before and walked away feeling unseen or misunderstood, you're welcome here. You don't need to have the right words or know exactly where to start—just showing up is enough.

After nearly 10 years of providing therapy services I have learned that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment modality. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills that you can utilize during and beyond therapy, throughout the many chapters of life. My aim is to help facilitate conversations with curiosity, humor, empathy, and flexibility that explore root causes of patterns and cycles that we all get stuck in. I knew I wanted to become a therapist while teaching music to kids as a part of The Young Americans. This led me to want to know why music and talking were so powerful. Family therapy specifically became an interest in seeing how treating the system creates long-lasting and powerful change. I continue to use creative ways to address healing.

I have been a therapist for about twenty years and have worked with children, adolescents and adults. I most often work with clients that have anxiety, depression, adhd, mood disorders, and history of trauma.
