Growing up, you had to deny parts of yourself in order to be loved. Maybe you grew up in a family, culture, or religious background that rejected aspects of your identity, so you learned to repress or abandon parts of yourself in order to fit in. In adulthood, you find yourself struggling to form deep connections with yourself and others. On your hardest days, you might even question whether you’re lovable at all, or if maybe you’re too broken to ever fully feel whole.

I get it and understand that you can be going about your life as you’ve known it to be and boom, life happens! Life throws you a curve ball. I know what that feels like, we all do in some capacity. I was living my life as I knew it and boom, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The question you have to ask yourself is, do I lie down and be defeated or do I get up and keep going. I know it’s not easy. But if you’re looking for a safe space to express yourself, talk out some things, wanting someone who will listen, ready for a change, I will be more than happy to walk with you through the process. Let’s work and heal!

Therapy is a place to share, discover, and heal. Everyone has their own experiences in life that influence who they grow up to become in this world. I take pride in providing all with a safe space to share their experiences, discover more about themselves, and heal from anything that may prevent one from being their best self. Whether things seems perfect or everything seems to be falling apart, talking to someone is always a good idea. My goal is to ensure all of my clients gain the tools they need to live the life they've always wanted to live, emotionally and mentally.

I am a bilingual psychologist who is passionate about offering people a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which to grow and explore themselves. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative experience where the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change and growth. As my clients experience those uncomfortable "growth spurt" moments, I aim to support them by modeling authenticity and encouraging them to practice patience and acceptance with themselves. It is my personal belief that therapy can not only lead to symptom reduction, but also to greater personal satisfaction and inner tranquility.
