I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual therapy with a focus on chronic illness (such as celiac, IBD, etc). I also specialize in supporting clients navigating endometriosis, PCOS, POTS, chronic fatigue, fertility challenges, and hormonal mood disorders. With research experience in PMDD and personal experience advocating for women’s health, I offer a validating, collaborative space for those facing chronic symptoms and medical dismissal. While I no longer practice couple's therapy, I’m passionate about helping my clients feel understood, empowered, and supported on their healing journey.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I focus on helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns so they can develop healthier ways of coping. Together we will work on building practical skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and increase confidence in everyday life.

I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story without judgment and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide individualized, evidence-based care for adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, ADHD/ADD, and sleep disorders.

I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) Latinx Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over seven years of clinical experience, including three years practicing under a limited permit and four years as an independently licensed clinician. I offer a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive space for healing and growth.

I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Whether you’re processing past experiences or seeking to build healthier patterns in the present, my goal is to meet you where you are—with empathy, respect, and collaboration.

Are you feeling stuck? Ready to feel more open? Ready to take the next step towards stronger relationships, self love, laughing more, and finding your sense of purpose? You can accomplish all this and more in therapy. When in therapy, intentional space is created for you to reflect and feel supported by another person that is curious, empathetic, compassionate, and can offer support through life's challenges. My intent as a therapist is to become a mirror, reflecting your deepest desires, life purpose, and the patterns that keep you from living your fullest life.

I utilize trauma- informed evidence-based practices that help the therapy move quickly such as EMDR and CBT helping you identify core beliefs and resolve inflexible patterns of thoughts- feelings- and behaviors. I also utilize somatic, mindful, and intuitive approaches.

All it takes is making a quick email or phone call to get started in becoming your best self. Putting one foot forward is how we turn dreams into reality.

Most of my clients would describe me as an empath who is warm, caring, and non-judgmental. I often hear, that speaking with me is like speaking with a best friend. I utilize my education, experience, training and education to support you, and the situations/issues you face. I have an ecumenical spiritual belief system, which can be brought into session at your request. As a member of the LGBT+ community, being sober, and over coming clinical depression have only contributed to my therapeutic approach. I look forward to getting to know you, and working with you for the best possible outcome. Please contact me should you have issue with finding an available time to accommodate your schedule. I will do what I can to help you find a mutually agreed appointment.

Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature. In the past, I have worked well with clients with anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, personality and/or mood disorders. I genuinely care about the people who entrust me within my therapy practice and consider being a therapist one of the greatest privileges of my life.

*Former clients are welcome to reach out if they want to resume therapy, even if I do not have scheduled openings on Headway.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. The ideal client is open, courageous, and dedicated to their personal growth. They engage in therapy with honesty, ready to explore and understand their inner world. Embracing change with a patience and self-compassion, they can recognize that healing is a journey. Life is too precious to spend in bad relationships, holding grudges, letting trauma control us, or feeling anxious and angry. Together, we can create a supportive and safe space to work towards a healthier, happier self.
