Working through life's problems can be difficult to do alone. Having a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment will provide the opportunity to find the relief you deserve. Through a person-centered approach, we will collaborate a plan to work through the things that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential and working toward your goals. I utilize techniques such as CBT, and trauma informed care to assist in self empowerment, gaining insight, and developing skills to cope with stressors.

I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping others navigate the pressures and stressors of life. The world we live in can feel overwhelming, demanding and overly competitive. Our culture can be harmful when it comes to ideas about happiness, success and beauty ideals. My past work experience in the fashion industry and prior to that, being a Division 1 athlete, give me a unique insight into common societal pressures we face and the need to manage our mental health as a result. My goal as a therapist is to help heal and empower individuals to manage the pressures of life and find their own version of happiness.

As a therapist I deeply value the journey of gaining self-knowledge. Through a collaborative effort we can improve your self-awareness by identifying blind spots, relational patterns, and automatic thoughts. Unhelpful behaviors can cause you to feel stuck and may interfere with your ability to experience joy. My therapeutic approach is warm, open, and supportive. During sessions I pay careful attention to your personal history, current circumstances and goals so we can begin to map a meaningful way forward that is uniquely tailored to your needs.

Perhaps you are new to the therapeutic experience, or may just wish to advance your best self. Or, as many people may be feeling in this modern world, that even under optimal circumstances, life can seem quite challenging and stressful. For through this process of self discovery, and the processing of troubling or complex emotions, you may actually find that you create an opportunity for healing and develop a feeling of autonomy. I believe the therapeutic environment should be one that feels safe and secure, and provides all the compassion, understanding and professional guidance needed for one to travel successfully on this road.

As a mental health counselor, I am committed to creating a safe, empathetic, and supportive space for my clients.

My goal is to empower my clients throughout their journey in pursuing positive mental health.

Living your life with anxiety, depression, anger, or unprocessed trauma, not only can delay your accomplishments, but also prevent you from living a full and happy life. Specializing in anxiety and depression, I draw from several different therapeutic approaches, such as CBT and DBT to help you gain back control of your life and work through whatever roadblocks are holding you back. I believe nothing is unobtainable if you have the right support.

As an English and Spanish speaking therapist, currently my private practice focus is working with Spanish-speaking clients and families applying for immigration and who need an evaluation for a Waiver, VAWA, asylum, U-Visa, or cancellation of deportation cases. I have a warm and empathic nature and create a setting where you can be yourself and be vulnerable. As someone who has experienced the challenges of immigration in my family, I understand the importance and gravity of the situation.

Therapy is about exploring, experimenting, discovering, and being vulnerable. In our therapy together you will learn to increase self-compassion and mindfulness, and your ability to sit with uncertainty and bear witness to uncomfortable feelings and body sensations. You will gain awareness of the role negative core beliefs and thoughts have upon mood and learn how to challenge those negative thought patterns. You will learn to set appropriate boundaries by asserting feelings, recognizing wants and needs, and identifying the role shame and guilt might play in causing unhealthy, harmful, stale, and inauthentic behaviors.
