The clients I work with often struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, andor addiction, and feel trapped in painful emotional patterns. They seek relief, clarity, and a safe space to heal. They aim to manage intolerable emotions, break harmful cycles, and rebuild self-worth. They want to live authentically and create meaningful connections.

They yearn for a sense of peace, emotional balance, and a way they can pursue their passions and dreams without being held back by fear or shame.

I am here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can heal and grow. If you are ready to take the first step, I would be honored to work with you in finding the peace and strength you deserve.

My approach to counseling comes from my background in music and philosophy. I integrate holistic elements of meditation, relaxation, and music therapy with popular modalities such as CBT, DBT, and REBT. I am a chill and nonjudgmental therapist, but when you want feedback and skills, I can and will provide them.

I help you regain control of your well-being and forge a new path in life. I firmly believe that each of us possesses the capacity to conquer the challenges that confront us. Together, we will understand your thoughts, habits, and behaviors that may be hindering your progress.

I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and strive at the beginning of counseling to establish a trusting relationship. Then, I collaborate with patients to identify agreed upon goals for their specific concerns. Typically, the counseling process involves addressing multiple areas of a person's life, including how one thinks, the choices one makes, how one relates to people, and how one regulates and expresses his or her emotions. As the counseling process unfolds, I work with patients to refine and modify goals as needed. The services I provide are characterized by empathy, genuineness, respect, and empowerment.

My ideal clients are people who are ready for change in their lives but aren’t sure where to begin. My approach to therapy is similar to walking a trail together. We may not know where it’s leading, and the path can have twists and turns, but my aim is to assist you as you navigate your path and support you every step of the way. I work with clients in a person-centered way and use interventions, skills, and tools that fit each person. I work with people experiencing chronic anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), difficulty with change, major life events or loss, and many other concerns. I’ve found that each person must be met where they are. This is an important principle to me because, as we work together, I want to help you find skills and tools that are the best fit for your needs. “It’s the job that’s never started that takes the longest to finish” is a quote I always find uplifting. Whenever you are ready to begin your journey, it is my hope that I can be here to walk with you along the way. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and draw from a wide variety of modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential therapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), trauma-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), gestalt therapy, and client-centered therapy.

I bring a personalized, strength-based approach. Our work together focuses on developing concrete, achievable goals, enhancing self-efficacy, creating sustainable personal growth, and building emotional resilience. Maybe you’re struggling to find your feet at a new school or office. Maybe you’re ramping up to make a major decision. Maybe you’ve come to rely on a network of support, only to find it slipping lately. Or maybe you’re just feeling a bit lost or out-of-sorts, and you’re not exactly sure why. If you’re a parent reading this, maybe you’re feeling like you don’t recognize your son or daughter anymore, or maybe your recent efforts to help your child cope and flourish have been coming up short. Together, let’s move beyond the mental roadblocks and anxious feelings that seem overwhelming and are holding you back. I’ll help you reset and reconnect with the feelings of comfort and calm that have gone missing. And, above all, let’s work together to build your sense of empowerment and move through the world on your terms with feelings of independence, confidence, and pride.

As a bilingual therapist who is proficient in both English and Spanish, my dedication lies in guiding you towards happiness and recovery. I am enthusiastic about creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can feel valued, respected, and free to express themselves without fear of judgement. With several years of experience working across multiple levels of care, including both private practice and inpatient care, I am well-equipped to assist you in your journey towards better mental health.

Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are; it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating space for the life you want to live. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally exhausted, making sense of an existing diagnosis, navigating a season of change, or simply sensing that something in your life no longer feels right. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe it should be a place where you can slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and begin making sense of the experiences and patterns shaping your life. I specialize in working with women at every stage of life, recognizing that each chapter brings its own experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles, and mindfulness-based interventions to meet your individual needs. Together, we can explore not only what you’re experiencing today, but also the deeper patterns that may be influencing how you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world. My clinical experience includes working in multiple settings dedicated to women’s emotional well-being, including graduate training at Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital. These experiences have allowed me to support women through a wide range of life experiences and mental health concerns and continue to shape the thoughtful, compassionate care I provide today. You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to begin therapy. Sometimes, simply recognizing that something needs to change is enough. I hope to provide a space where you feel understood, gain meaningful insight, and develop the tools and confidence to move forward with greater clarity and intention. If you’re ready to begin, I welcome you to reach out for a complimentary consultation.

The journey through life can be hard! However, with learning some life tools and skills to help you regulate your thoughts and feelings that journey can be made a lot easier. For over 15 years, I have enjoyed helping people in the private practice setting develop these tools to navigate life's journey more efficiently. My passion is to help empower people to thrive and find their resiliency regardless of the challenging circumstance they might be experiencing. I have advanced training in health psychology and thus work with individuals and families coping with medical illnesses such as diabetes, breast cancer, postpartum depression and IBS. Additionally, I also counsel adults and families with general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and attention difficulties. My warm and compassionate care create the perfect environment for growth while using strength-based and evidenced based treatment interventions. We all are aware of the importance of physical fitness and spend a lot of time getting physically fit. How about mental fitness? We are finding that people need to devote time to their emotional wellness too which can help us manage stress and life conflicts in healthier ways. Yes, mental fitness is just as important. So take some time to learn to develop some tools to promote emotional health for you.

My approach to healing is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe that each person has the inner strength and resilience needed for growth and change. In our work together, I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, while tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I walk alongside you with compassion, helping you build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward greater balance and well-being.
