Hello and welcome!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with teens, young adults, and adults ages 15–40 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Sometimes life feels heavier than it should. You may be carrying the weight of a painful experience, struggling with relationship challenges, grieving a loss, or trying to make sense of who you are while balancing everyone else's expectations. When stress begins affecting your confidence, relationships, or sense of peace, it can be difficult to know where to turn. My primary areas of focus include stress, relationship issues, identity concerns, trauma, and family challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way. My goal is to provide a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you feel heard without judgment, supported through life's challenges, and empowered to create lasting, positive change.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

I am a bilingual therapist who has worked in the public education system for more than 15 years. I have experience working in several settings such as public schools, non-profits and corporations. I have earned a Master’s degree in Divinity, a Master’s degree in School Counseling, and a Master’s degree in Public School Administration. I have more than 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents to overcome school struggles. I have more than 10 years of experience working with women of all ages. In 2018, I was honored to receive a Congressional Award for my Inclusion work. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
