I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing teletherapy for teens and adults in Oregon and California. While I’ve supported a wide range of mental health concerns in my practice, I currently focus on chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout. I work with people who tend to have more sensitive nervous systems — often shaped by early childhood experiences, chronic relational stress, high emotional attunement, or years of self-override. It takes courage and effort to start therapy, so I’m glad you’re here.

Therapist

Bicultural bilingual clinician with a passion for providing therapy to individual adult clients struggling with anxiety and depression, may it be related to life changes and/or a history of trauma. I am deeply committed to supporting women who are navigating the overwhelm of modern life (relationships, career, parenting, health) moving from survival mode to feeling calm, clear and safe. By identifying and healing the underlying origins of your distress we will work to restore your internal battery.

I have also spent 15+ years counseling parents and children prioritizing healthy communication tools, boundary setting and relationship repair using cognitive behavioral, collaborative problem solving and family systems interventions.

My background includes providing therapeutic services to children, families and adults in outpatient mental and school based K-8 integrated health clinics. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Case Manager in the state of Oregon.

I see you as a whole person, where your culture, heritage, and gender identity are respected and valued as core parts of your healing journey. Fluent in Spanish and English.

Therapist

Therapy works best when you don't have to leave part of yourself at the door. With more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and some of the passages that are hardest to put into words: infertility, pregnancy loss, maternal mental health, and the particular weight that women carry through seasons of life that rarely get enough support. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and my practice is open to people of all faith backgrounds as well as those without religious beliefs. Whatever you believe, you are welcome here.
