About My Clients

You’re used to being the one others rely on. You keep showing up for work, family, and responsibilities, but beneath the surface you may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or affected by past experiences that are becoming harder to manage on your own. I specialize in helping adults, couples and teens navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience and training in evidence-based practices. I provide affirming, culturally responsive care for LGBTQ+ individuals and members of BIPOC and Latino communities. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatments including EMDR, CBT, and DBT and attachment approach. Together, we'll process difficult experiences, build effective coping strategies, and help you reconnect with the life you want. Therapy doesn't require you to have all the answers before you begin. If you're ready to take the next step, I offer a free consultation to discuss your needs and determine whether we're a good fit.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hope to create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can be known, seen, and heard. I am here to empower you to tap into your abilities and strengths and help you to create a new path by challenging the barriers. I work with individuals and teens who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief and loss, life transitions, and relational/attachment wounds. My experience also includes working with the BIOPIC community, LGBTQIA+ community, first responders, veterans, and addicted family systems. I tailor therapy to my clients individual goals and needs and provide culturally competent mental health care.
