I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy for adults. Using CBT with somatic and mindfulness techniques, I support mind-body healing and help clients navigate depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My goal is to foster self-awareness, confidence, and lasting growth.

I have worked in the mental health field for approximately 10 years in different capacities. I have worked in the community assisting families, working with low income and more affluent individuals, parenting and assigning with supporting children with behaviors impacting their lives. I am committed to helping individuals learn to build healthier relationships with themselves as well as listening to your wants/needs. My work focuses on assisting you in targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, beliefs that impact your life. I believe in collaboration to helping you reach your goals.

I believe deeply in the possibility of growth and change. My decision to become a therapist was inspired by a steadfast belief in transformation — in the human capacity to move forward, even after hardship. Having navigated my own journey of growth, I understand the courage it takes to be vulnerable in therapy. I hold the therapeutic relationship as sacred and approach it with care, respect, and integrity.

Clients can expect a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental space where they are seen and heard without assumptions. I strive to cultivate an environment of authenticity and self-awareness, where trust is built through consistency, empathy, and genuine presence. I want to understand each client’s firsthand experiences and meet them exactly where they are.

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you do not need to navigate them alone. Finding a therapist you resonate with is the first step in feeling supported, understood, and moving toward meaningful change. My practice includes working with individuals 18+, couples and families.

I am a Person-Centered therapist who integrates a variety of evidence-based and experiential modalities to support each client’s unique needs. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic alliance.

For clients experiencing trauma, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process and resolve distressing experiences in a safe and structured way.

I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to support clients in building practical skills, increasing insight, and creating meaningful change.

As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), I specialize in working with anxiety-related concerns and may integrate Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping) as a complementary mind-body approach.

When working with couples, I draw from both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method to help partners strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict more effectively.

Taking the first step of asking for help takes a tremendous amount of courage. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed; you are not alone in these feelings. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and School Psychologist. Therefore, I am familiar with how academic struggles can impact mental health and how mental health can impact academic success. I am fluent in English and Spanish and enjoy working with individuals between the ages of 13 and 18.

I enjoy connecting with clients by learning their individual stories. By understanding my clients, I can connect them to a specific modality for treatment. I am empathic and caring. My goal is to support each of my clients reflect on their lives and become emotionally strong.
