About My Clients

What I'm most passionate about is helping people become more knowledgeable about themselves, while encouraging self-compassion in the process. I see clients via Telehealth (online) to expand access to clients and to better fit into your schedule.

My Background and Approach

My strengths-based approach to therapy aims to guide you in recognizing how your patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions impact your relationship with yourself and others. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, which can be curative in and of itself. To make this possible, it is important that I be my most genuine self to have an authentic experience while in session with my clients and I welcome you to join me in that legitimacy. Together we can identify, understand, and process what may be interfering with your overall wellness, stability, and quality of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a member of the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities, I welcome and am dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for all. In addition, I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). Based on your needs, I can assist with navigating either an abstinence-based approach to recovery or working with moderation.
