About My Clients

My ideal clients are children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, boundaries, emotional regulation, life transitions, and difficulties communicating their needs.

My Background and Approach

I’m a bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative, with a focus on helping you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, boundaries, and emotional regulation. I also have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which allows me to help clients build practical skills for managing difficult emotions, improving relationships, and responding to challenging situations in healthier ways.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that asking for help is a strength and that we can hold compassion for where we are while still challenging ourselves to grow. There doesn’t have to be a perfect way to say what you’re feeling, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
