Si estás cargando algo que se siente demasiado pesado para seguir llevando solo, o simplemente buscas un espacio donde puedas hablar con honestidad sin ser juzgado, puedo ayudarte. Mi camino hacia la terapia nació de una profunda curiosidad por la resiliencia humana y del deseo genuino de acompañar a las personas en sus momentos más difíciles. Durante mi formación de posgrado trabajé con sobrevivientes de trauma, una experiencia que me mostró el poder transformador de la terapia y que fortaleció mi compromiso de caminar junto a otros en sus procesos de sanación. Soy LMHC con mas de 20 años ofreciendo terapia.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through meaningful change. My background spans community-based programs, hospital settings, and telehealth, giving me a deep understanding of how people grow within their relationships, environments, and daily challenges.

I specialize in evidence‐based approaches including Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution‐Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions.

My path to becoming a mental health provider grew out of a combination of personal experience, professional curiosity, and a deep desire to help others feel empowered in their own lives. Early experiences with trauma shaped the way I understand healing, resilience, and the importance of having support during life’s most overwhelming moments. While challenging, those experiences ultimately planted the seed for what would become my career.

I am deeply interested in the ways people adapt, survive, and make meaning out of hardship. This led me to pursue formal training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, along with a commitment to ongoing continuing education. Over more than a decade of practice, I have supported individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, family violence, grief, and major life transitions.
