I am a therapist-in-training providing $25 therapy under the supervision of Jessenia until May 2025. I believe in the power of understanding one’s own experiences as a foundation for growth. I see my role not as a problem solver but as a facilitator of exploration and self-discovery. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the connection between physical and mental health, recognizing that both aspects are integral to overall well-being. Having navigated my own journey of understanding and working with children in the foster care system, I have learned the profound impact of early attachment experiences on present relationships.

I provide a compassionate, honest, and encouraging environment in which you are deeply heard and understood, leading to transformation in your relationships.
I aim to guide clients to uncover and understand their truths as they share their stories. Feelings around intimacy, loss, and shame which manifest as depression and anxiety are often central themes. Couples counseling, issues relating to sex and sexuality, co-parenting, divorce, and physical illness are some of my specialties. People become stuck in self-imposed limitations and self defeating actions and self talk. In our work, you will gain new perspectives that encourage your authentic self to express itself.
