The changes of our time contain challenges calling for new forms of expression to strengthen the fibers of our social contract. The therapeutic journey is not only about the brain, it includes the full spirit as well as the body, integrating contexts of both past and present realities. This process invites a sense of familiarity that provides relief from suffering in isolation. This space offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories.

Healing is rarely a linear journey. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and with support, you will become more aware of the strengths you already possess. I am here to create the safe and empathetic space to support your exploration and help process what you find within. I work on building inner awareness to grow acceptance with yourself and the world around you. I use CBT, grounding practices and nervous system tools through PolyVagal theory and EMDR to help with trauma, anxiety, and daily life stress. I’m passionate about using the mind-body connection to improve your overall mental health.

Are you looking for a therapist that you can relate to and is easy to talk to? I'm a mixed Latina/BIPOC therapist and I provide talk therapy and CBT therapy to women ages 18+.

As an integrative therapist it is important to me to work from an intersectional lens where we can explore societal expectations and cultural norms in relation to identity and mental health. I tend to draw from psychodynamic and relational techniques to help empower and validate your experience of the world. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most pivotal contributors to transformation and healing. While it is crucial for you to feel supported while addressing challenging emotions, I also recognize the importance of allowing space for levity and humor.

Are you feeling burnt out? Is your mind constantly racing with worries about your relationships, or the future? If you’re nodding your head, you’re in the right place. I’m a licensed therapist with 14 years of experience, dedicated to helping Millennials and Gen Z navigate the pressures of today's fast-paced world. The modern dating scene can be brutal.

Life can feel like an uphill battle when you're constantly weighed down by overwhelming emotions, intrusive memories, or the relentless pain of chronic illness. You might feel trapped in cycles of worry, fear, hopelessness, or being disconnected from the people you care about the most. It's easy to feel lost, unsure of how to find relief or reconnect with a sense of normalcy. I am dedicated to helping you break free from these struggles and guiding you toward rediscovering your sense of peace, control, meaningful connections and relationships. Using EMDR, CBT, and Solution Focused Therapy, I am committed to helping you heal.

Empathy is the cornerstone of my practice. I believe change develops from within, and flourishes when we have the right support. I provide a warm, interactive space for clients to show up authentically and address personal life challenges effectively. Together, we can create a customized action plans to help you address unhelpful patterns and cycles that keep you feeling stuck and block your ability to connect with yourself and others. Most importantly, I can help you learn practical tools and skills to create lasting change in your life.

When life feels out of control we search for things to calm us down and feel in control again. Yet, too often our problems remain unresolved and we end up feeling empty. Maybe you've been in a cycle of failed relationships and are wondering why. Perhaps your emotions are getting the best of you and life is a little messy as a result.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. I offer empathetic support and trauma-informed tools to manage responses to life's many difficulties. I have a special interest helping teenagers navigate the ups and downs of adolescence, young adults working through "stuckness" within their relationships, families and careers, and survivors of trauma.

You need to talk, and I'm here to listen. But listening isn’t all that I’ll do. I collaborate with clients in a dynamic process of exploration and discovery. I will ask you thought-provoking questions, invite you to consider new perspectives, and engage you in a conversation that will promote insight and growth. I believe an authentic, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I may challenge you to “try on” a different way of thinking or to break free from an entrenched pattern of behavior, but I will always lead with compassion and respect.

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming - I put together a blog post on my website that includes recommendations and a checklist for how to know if a therapist is right for you.

I also welcome clients who are seeking therapy for the first time.
