I value the therapy room as a place free of judgment. I enjoy working with those looking to heal through exploration of past experiences to better understand present patterns. Curiosity, humor, and compassion are central to my approach. I am an active and collaborative therapist and challenge my clients to wonder about their own behaviors and desires. I hope that in time when trust is established, my clients feel safe to explore parts of themselves they may try to hide or ignore. My areas of specialty include family trauma; romantic relationships; gender and sexuality; grief and loss; and developing self-compassion.

As a justice-oriented therapist, what matters to me is what works for you. I prioritize an intersectional, relational, and pluralistic approach by drawing from multiple frameworks, including but not limited to psychodynamics, parts work, attachment theory, and somatics. I seek to build authentic, accountable, transparent relationships based on your definitions of safety and respect. Centering and affirming your experiences in the world is most important to me. In our time together, I’ll regard you as the expert in your own lived experience as we both learn more about what it is like to be you.

Your brain may be buzzing with worry, feeling overwhelmed with day to day tasks, or the urge to run away from what is making you feel this way. You could even be feeling afraid or scared of the thoughts that are coming up in your mind, making the sadness harder to carry or making you feel more tired. It can be exhausting to hold that pain alone but you deserve a reliable, affirming space so that you can let it all out, get steady and find balance.

I am a warm, caring, authentic and dynamic therapist. The foundation of my work is based on connection and the idea that when people are aware of their needs, wishes, and feelings they can make choices that bring them satisfaction and fulfillment. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and my hope is they will find my practice to be one in which they will be able to freely discuss their thoughts, feelings, and goals.

I’m a big believer that therapy doesn’t have to be buttoned-up or artificial. It should be comfortable and real. I prefer to facilitate a casual, collaborative, & affirming environment where we can openly discuss anything that’s on your mind and empower you to explore who you are and how you relate to others. I specialize in working working with athletes (professional and amateur), e-sports athletes, musicians, poly relationships and fellow therapists in individual, relationship, and family contexts.

As a bilingual-bicultural, indigenous Latinx licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to join you and collaborate with you. I believe our environment and culture play a significant role in our behavior, influencing how we show up in the different spaces we navigate. One of the goals in therapy is to understand how the systems and spaces you interact with are impacting the various dimensions of you. Typical issues I work with include substance use management, adjustment, anxiety, life changes, gender, cultural, racial, sexual identity exploration, loss, grief, and trauma.

Life can be challenging, but I believe that connection with ourselves and others can help us navigate it. Therapy can provide an opportunity to heal from the pain of the past, gain insight into ourselves and our circumstances, and put that awareness into practice to live a more meaningful life.

My field of expertise is working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression or relationship challenges and working with couples. I enjoy working with young adults in transition who are feeling uncertain about employment, relationships or future- a quarter-life crisis. My other areas of interest include working with individuals who have experienced trauma and coping with the difficult emotions those experiences bring. When working with couples, I work with developing positive communication and relational skills to increase closeness, effectively adjust to life's challenges, and manage stress, anxiety and depression. I also enjoy working with adolescents and families to increase closeness and improve communication skills.

Therapy is a wonderful way to practice self-care and it is not just for those in crisis. I have experience working with adults experiencing life changes, identity development, existential issues, depression, anxiety, and distress related to relationships and family. I also specialize in working with couples who have communication issues, who are building the foundation of their relationship, and who are experiencing conflict.

Therapy is a space that we build together. My role is to hold a container for you to explore, feel, process, and heal without judgment and yours is to show up and be open. Because these conversations are inherently vulnerable, I believe it’s crucial to ground our relationship in safety, trust, and permission. In sessions I bring warmth, compassion, and curiosity and adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. You know yourself the best and together we will find meanings and narratives that resonate with you.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a crucial and transformative vehicle and I work hard to build a trusting relationship where you feel deeply seen, heard and valued. I believe each person knows themselves best and I will honor your individuality and work collaboratively with you to help you attain your goals for healing, change, and growth. Some of my areas of focus include trauma, relational (friend, family, dating, romantic, etc.) stressors, attachment styles, parenting support, life transitions, work burnout, generalized stress, identity development and identifying and unpacking biases. I am LQBTQIA+ affirming.

You matter, and your needs are important. Embracing change and seeking self-improvement are natural parts of life, and should be viewed as opportunities rather than burdens. While strained relationships, overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in uncertainty and worry, or adjusting to life transitions may have brought you here, I trust that these can also become great initiations towards a more refined and ideal version of yourself, and the life you wish to live. If you feel ready to embark on a journey toward deeper self-understanding and experience more fulfilling relationships, I am here, and ready to walk side by side with you.

Folks enter into therapy to examine the internal and external barriers that keep them from cultivating the kind of life they want to lead. Working with a therapist can help you not only recognize the way these barriers impact your life, but help you break through them by utilizing many of the skills and strengths you already possess. Together, we’ll also work to build bridges leading to new skills and strengths, guiding you to the kind of life you truly want to live. My main focus is on creating a safe, supportive and trusting environment where clients can share their story and know that it will be received with positive regard.
