About My Clients

My experience ranges from working with children and adolescents on behavioral issues, family conflict, and coping skills to and working with young adults managing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, personal growth goals, and much more.

My Background and Approach

I believe it takes a great amount of strength and vulnerability for people of any age to reach out to a therapist, and don't take that lightly. For this reason, I believe that a warm, open-minded, client-centered, and non-judgmental environment is essential in beginning to heal and growing to be the best version of yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about representation in mental health and pride myself on being a multiculturally competent therapist with a wide array of experiences working with diverse populations, which includes being an LGBTQA+ affirming counselor and a fluent Spanish speaker.
