It takes a lot of courage to trust a provider with your life experiences. I strive to provide a safe space for you to grow, heal, and reconnect to what brings your life meaning. Sessions are structured to feel more like a conversation than an agenda, and I encourage my clients to show up as their authentic selves. I am here to support and empower you in our work together.
I specialize in working with adjustment stressors, chronic stress and trauma, ethnic and race based stress and trauma, anxiety, depression, academic stressors, college students, and immigrant populations. I also have specialty training in mindfulness based approaches and am bilingual in Spanish.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a phone consultation. You can also find me on Headway and Alma.
