I specialize in anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, pre/postnatal, relationships, women's issues, LGBTQIA and gender affirming.
It’s not easy to find a therapist that feels like the right “fit." Even more, opening up and working towards change can be intimidating and hard. But, taking this step for yourself can be monumental. My ethos as a therapist, is to focus on helping clients feel secure in the therapeutic process by building a trusting relationship. My style is dynamic, warm, and curious. Together we'll explore deep-rooted beliefs and feelings, process the past and what’s challenging in the present, develop meaningful practices, and help you reconnect with yourself and those around you so you can live a full and connected life.

I specialize in treating people who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, eating disorders, and psychosis. My expertise includes working with adults, youth, and families. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults on identity formation. Most youth I have worked with have identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community, with particular focus on gender identity and affirmation. As a holistic practitioner, I give consideration for intersectional factors of race, ability, culture, and other dimensions of identity as well.

Waitlist for new clients
Not currently accepting new clients, inquire for waitlist! I primarily treat clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. I often times see clients who struggle with deeper parts of themselves, such as trauma, relationship issues, gender/sexuality issues, etc., that manifest in their relationship with food or self. I want to support clients in both understanding how deeper issues of self affect external behaviors, as well as how to create more adaptive and sustainable coping. I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment and have worked with many co-occuring diagnoses.

Taking care of someone with special needs and navigating the health care system in a foreign country can be extremely challenging. I come from a family of first-generation immigrants with a special need family member. My family went through the same struggles you are probably going through as well. My personal experiences inspire me to pursue a career in the mental health field. I became a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst in 2016.

You’re good at so many things, but you struggle in relationships, with confidence in who you are, or managing grief. Therapy will help you tap into your natural ability for deep connection, inner strength, and healing. Perhaps in Relationships- you struggle with communication, boundaries, or you keep getting stuck in the same patterns? In Identity- you know your worth, but have trouble with your self-esteem? In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

All sessions available in English and Spanish. Through my own and shared life experiences, I have come to know many perspectives throughout the world. Underlying the richness and uniqueness of each culture - racial, ethnic, familial, and all the nuance of what defines us - I have learned there is a common longing: to not only live but to thrive in life; to give and to receive; to have purpose and to know it. Challenges are a given along life’s journey. Contrary to what many believe, to seek help does not make one weak but rather, on some level indicates one is willing and capable of growth and, as needed, of change.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
