I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Marriage and Family Therapist with four years of experience treating cultural diversity issues. I believe every individual is unique and finding the strength to defend that uniqueness is my goal as a clinician. Many times, we find ourselves dwelling in a place of discomfort because we are in transit, in a new position, a new career, a new family or a new country. We are living constantly transitioning from one culture to another one, through life phases, starting new traditions. My goal is helping you to succeed in your own special journey.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I enjoy working with adults from diverse backgrounds who seek to improve the quality of their lives. Is there a place you find yourself stuck? Have you tried all you can and still find yourself in emotional pain? Do you have some insight into what may be happening, but want to seek professional support to grow and thrive? Whether you are familiar with counseling or not, each person's therapeutic journey is unique. Some people come with a specific goal in mind and others prefer a longer supportive therapy, traversing the many layers and aspects of their life.

Nurturing Relationships through Life's Highs and Lows Life can be unpredictable, making it challenging to develop and maintain healthy relationships. Post-pandemic experiences and societal crises may make it difficult for couples to keep their passion alive, driven singles to date, and individuals to overcome past childhood or familial traumas in the same environments that caused them pain. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking to enhance their dating confidence, strengthen their relationships, marriages, and families, and develop their interpersonal skills by exploring themselves on a deeper level.

I see my role as a guide, active witness, and collaborator in my clients' exploration of themselves. My foundation is in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I like to use DBT's philosophical framework to support my clients in finding a balance between accepting themselves and their lives as they are while working to change or address their unique problems. I bring a sense of both groundedness and levity to my work. I specialize in working with young adults, first-generation Americans, and newcomer immigrants. As a white therapist with loads of privilege, I hold tightly to the values of humility, accountability, and social justice.

Perhaps you have tried talk therapy before and it didn't feel productive or inspire you to change or reflect in new ways. Or perhaps you feel like you often don't have the words to describe how you feel, or aren't ready to verbally share about your challenges or difficult experiences. Individuals who can relate to these sentiments may greatly benefit from working with an Art Therapist. Through a combination of talk therapy and creative techniques I will support you in reflective and problem solving processes that will be different, productive and sometimes even playful.

You don’t feel like yourself, you push through each day joyless and overwhelmed. Talking to friends, family, or even your partner about how difficult things are often makes you feel more alone. More than anything you want to be excited about this next phase of life, to feel like you can meet this moment with hope and resolve and be there for those who need you most, but instead you are barely treading water. Worse, you and your partner have never felt more out of sync.

My professional career started in 2004 and I continue to love helping people progress to their goals. I have a holistic approach to health and wellness. Therapeutically speaking, my primary modalities include Cognitive Behavioral, Solutions Focused, and Strengths-based therapies; however, I believe every person and circumstance should be individualized based on the client's wants and needs. I like to meet people where they are and draw off of their strengths to guide them in improving their circumstances and overall quality of life.

Finding the right therapist can be daunting, and for some, it can be the most difficult step. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so that you can assess if we are the right fit. I work with teens and adults presenting with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/ loss, chronic health concerns, relationship issues, and life transitions. In our work together we will explore your strengths and root you in them. We will define your values and explore how to live your life in harmony with them. We will also create space for the areas in your life where you want change and navigate the path to get you there.

You care deeply—about your relationships, community, and how you show up for others. You’re the one people call on for guidance and support. You don't want to burn out but find yourself pushed to your limits. You feel pressured to hold it all together to continue being there for others; even as you navigate your own worries about loss, change, and conflict. You want relief, yet the very idea of it overwhelms you with immense guilt and self-criticism. You're tired of feeling stuck, and are looking for a way to continue caring for your partner and/or aging parents while feeling connected to yourself, your needs, and your creativity.
