You've taken the most important step, now let me support you through the next. I’m a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with individuals and couples, guiding them through various life challenges including relationship conflicts, communication challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal health and personal growth. I will create a safe space for you to explore your needs.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual online therapy in English and Spanish to young adults and adults throughout Washington State. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland.

Before entering private practice, I worked at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and held a faculty appointment in Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals.

My experience has equipped me to work with clients with a wide range of issues and I love working with those authentically ready for change. I work collaboratively, reflectively and truly commit to the individual process that therapy means for each person.

As a therapist (and a human), I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel. Whether you’re struggling with relationship issues, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive and authentic space for growth and healing. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build resilience, strengthen connections, and rediscover yourself.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or struggling in relationships, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help individuals and families find greater clarity, healing, and connection. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
