About My Clients

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or a major life transition, or struggling to understand who you are and what you believe. I work with clients navigating identity, spirituality, and faith, including the impact of harmful or misused religion. I offer practical tools through CBT, DBT, and ACT, and also support teens and families healing from developmental trauma. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

My Background and Approach

I take an eclectic, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed, and person-centered modalities. I believe people are beautifully complex, and that meaningful therapy considers the whole person, not just the symptoms that bring you in. Your life stage, cultural heritage, faith or spiritual background, relationships, identity, and lived experiences all shape how we understand your challenges and what healing may look like. My approach is grounded in deep curiosity, compassion, and respect for your autonomy. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and identify practical tools that fit your unique needs and context. I aim to create a space where you feel understood while also feeling empowered and equipped to make meaningful changes in your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is a relational process, build on trust, curiosity, compassion, and genuine connection. You know yourself and your story better than anyone, and I see my role as walking alongside you as we identify your goals, make sense of your experiences, and develop a path toward greater wholeness. Together, we can work toward reclaiming your identity, building meaning, strengthening your relationships, and creating a life that feels purposeful and authentic to you. While I draw from evidence-based practices and practical tools, I also believe healing involves more than symptom reduction. Hope, joy, connection, creativity, and even laughter can be meaningful parts of the healing process. My hope is that therapy becomes a space where you feel both understood and empowered to grow. I look forward to connecting and journeying with you!
