Living between cultures, expectations, or identities can create quiet pressures many people carry alone. Adults often reach out when grief, relationship strain, identity questions, or emotional overwhelm begin affecting daily life. I work with individuals navigating immigration experiences, cultural identity, family expectations, loss, and major life transitions. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with your values so life feels more grounded, authentic, and emotionally balanced.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. My experience includes college counseling, community mental health, and private practice, where I’ve worked with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when you can feel comfortable being fully yourself. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood—not judged or talked down to. Whether you’re working through something that’s been weighing on you for years or navigating a new season of life, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want.

I believe that therapy can have a great impact on one's life. If one is motivated, one can resolve problems, feel better, and address past hardships. I have over thirty years of experience helping clients achieve their goals in a supportive and safe environment. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University. I have resided in both the United States and Latin America. I look forward to working with each and every client, in order that they may reach their happiest self possible.
