I believe therapy should be a space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported without judgment. Many people come to therapy carrying trauma, relationship pain, anxiety, identity questions, spiritual concerns, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else. My goal is to create a warm and affirming space where clients can slow down, process what they have experienced, and begin reconnecting with themselves.

I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients, individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, relationship and family concerns, spirituality, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I use interventions from EMDR, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing in a way that feels realistic and meaningful.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an educator which continues to shape the way I support clients with patience, curiosity, and compassion. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value working with clients from diverse cultural, spiritual, and personal backgrounds.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy creativity, storytelling, music, games, and pop culture. I believe healing does not have to feel cold or clinical; it can include humor, honesty, culture, faith, and the parts of life that make people feel most like themselves.
