Hello! I am a clinical psychologist with several years of clinical experience, particularly working with young adults and adults. I believe that life’s challenges are often difficult to navigate on your own and having therapeutic and emotional support makes the journey less lonely and more rewarding. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, safe, and supportive environment for you to work towards your personal goals. I work in an integrative fashion, based in Cognitive Behavioral techniques (your thoughts and feelings) and will gently challenge you to self-reflect on both your internal and external experiences

My primary goal is to become useless to you as quickly as possible. That's not a typo; I want to help you make positive changes so that you no longer need to come see me. Whether you're struggling with your relationship, feelings of depression, anxiety, a traumatic event, addiction, or a complex combination of issues, I can help you make sense of the chaos. As every person and problem is unique, I am flexible in my approach, tailoring sessions to meet your specific needs.

Hi! You made it (sigh). If you’re here, I’m guessing that you’re feeling some type of way, and that you’ve probably felt that way for a while. Maybe anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, and unsupported come to mind and you find yourself stuck on your couch scrolling your phone hoping for something that will finally start your life. You’ve tried to think your way out, distract yourself from your feelings and it’s not working. Maybe even getting worse. I get it and I can help. I help young adults like you learn new ways to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing and get unstuck so they can live full, purposeful, and meaningful lives.

We believe in the therapeutic process deeply and the power of growth and change. The first challenge is often alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, life and work stress, relational problems, grief problems, and sometimes managing traumatic experiences. For those who seek further growth after the immediate pain is resolved, the clinician may help you identify and address repetitive patterns that get in the way of you living your fullest life.

I treat psychological difficulties with a compassionate, yet results-oriented approach. When someone suffers from a medical disorder, a comprehensive assessment of the problem is required in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect, treatment will repeatedly fail. As a diagnostician, my focus is to treat people, many of whom had been non-responsive to previous psychological / medical treatment, in this same way. Only with a correct diagnosis will treatment be effective. Once determined, goals discussed, a treatment plan in place, the therapy begins. With time and work, individuals grow to experience enhanced emotional health along with interpersonal and professional contentment.

I am passionate about helping clients through their journey. Knowledge is transformative in healing past generational traumas and guiding us through our recovery. It is important to develop positive coping skills that will take the place of negative coping strategies that only elicit new problems. I am bicultural and bilingual in Spanish. Coming from immigrant parents, I am sensitive to multicultural issues. I enjoy working with a variety of issues, however, my specialty areas include anxiety, depression, body image, and generational trauma.

Anxiety hurts. Whether it wakes you up in the morning and lingers all day or hits you like gang busters when you least expect it. Whether you know where it's coming from or not, anxiety tells you something is wrong and needs fixing. Anxiety is often tied to trauma and grief. You lose a person, relationship or perhaps a dream and you're left in a puddle of pain. Therapy is about working through grief and finding the courage to start again. You develop coping skills to feel better and communication skills to express your needs. You identify personal goals, and together, we chart your course toward your best and truest self.
