Life often presents challenges, particularly in times of uncertainty. I firmly believe that each person's unique perspective, influenced by their individual core beliefs and background, significantly shapes how they approach these challenges. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of each client, along with their specific needs, is essential in developing an effective treatment plan. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations, including monolingual Spanish-speaking clients, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women experiencing postpartum depression, and survivors of domestic violence.

Do you desire more empowerment and mastery over your life? Do you intuitively sense you are destined for more, but are plagued by fears and doubts? Are you committed to your growth, but feel stuck in low-moods or trauma spirals? In our work together, we will take an honest inventory of everything that is no longer serving you, such as, old, destructive patterns, false limiting beliefs, and intrusive negative self-talk that unconsciously runs on a loop. My intention is to empower you to make lasting changes and to ultimately help you see yourself through a more honest and loving lens.

I believe the issue that brings us to therapy is the desire to heal, to change, to feel content in the way we view ourselves in the world. I help individuals become healthier versions of themselves. Together we can address areas of concern that may include anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, life transitions, grief, and trauma. I teach coping skills to help tolerate the emotions that come with adversity, and help clients make changes through self awareness. I welcome the opportunity to listen to your story, and support you on your journey in managing difficult life circumstances.
