As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe that mental well-being is foundational to living a fulfilling and connected life. Taking the step to begin therapy can be challenging, and I commend you for making that choice. Over the course of my career in college and community mental health, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate substance use, addiction, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with motivation. My goal is to create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where growth and healing can take root.

Hello! I have had the honor of working with folks struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief as well as many other difficult issues for over 20 years. I believe healing happens when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My work is grounded in holistic and trauma-informed approaches that recognize each individual’s innate capacity for healing. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment during each session. My style is collaborative and interactive and I often pull from a variety of techniques and modalities.

I’m a bilingual (English/Español) Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy shouldn’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment. My clients are hardworking adults, professionals, and cycle-breakers who are tired of white-knuckling their way through the week. They come to me dealing with anxiety, massive burnout, ADHD, Autism, and the heavy weight of life transitions. They stay because I skip the clinical robot-speak and get straight to "real talk."

I know what it’s like to juggle impossible schedules, which is exactly why I designed my practice to fit yours. I offer weekend and late-evening virtual sessions so you don’t have to burn your PTO or stress about missing work just to take care of your mental health.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with being truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and deep respect for every journey. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and begin to find your way forward with understanding and compassion. With me, all emotions are valid- sarcasm, anger, fear, and tears are all welcome.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief in all its forms, new motherhood, life transitions, sex and relationship issues, confidence struggles, medical trauma, and the complex realities of caregiving- some of which I have personal experience with. These experiences can bring feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and exhaustion. Together, we’ll work to untangle those emotions, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of balance and purpose.

As an independently licensed LICSW, I bring years of experience and a calm, steady presence to my work. My practice is collaborative and person-centered. No person is the same and neither are the strategies and research-based methods I use with each client. We will work together to identify your goals, explore your strengths, and create a plan that amplifies YOU. I view therapy as a partnership built on trust and the belief that you have the capability to change your life with a little bit of guidance. I often use a blend of somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I understand that life can be busy. I offer evening and weekend appointments to make support more accessible and convenient. Don't see a time that works for you? Just ask!

Change can be challenging, and healing often unfolds in its own time. You don’t have to walk that path alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.
