About My Clients

My clients are aged 10+, struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-image symptoms who feel stuck and want to make meaningful change. They feel overwhelmed or unsure how to manage their emotions. Their goals are to reduce distress, build healthy coping skills, and feel more balanced and confident. They want therapy that feels supportive, safe, collaborative, and practical, empowering them through knowledge and compassion to understand themselves, and create lasting emotional well-being.

My Background and Approach

I am a social worker by background, which means I take a systems approach to all clients I work with. We are all affected by the environments we live in and the people we interact with and social workers are trained to take these into account. I am bilingual in Spanish, so I can take Spanish speaking clients. I also have a therapy dog in sessions with me if clients choose. I take an eclectic approach to individual therapy, pulling from multiple modalities to best meet clients’ needs. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, life transitions, anger, self-esteem/identity issues, chronic illness/pain, and am open to working with other concerns depending on fit.
