As an emerging therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate grief, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique journey. My approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and a belief in the resilience of the human spirit. As a proud Latina woman, my decision to pursue therapy was inspired by my own life experiences and the encouragement I received from students I had the privilege of working with. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel empowered to explore their emotions, heal, and ultimately embrace their true selves. My mission is to guide clients toward self-discovery and help them reclaim their inner strength to navigate life’s challenges.

I've been fortunate to practice as a therapist since my internship/practicum as a therapist in 2011 and graduating with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in May of 2012. My career began in a practice that specialized in general mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, parenting support, and couples counseling to treating abuse survivors of varying ages and degrees of severity. After a few years in that practice, I began work as a Clinical Coordinator and Counselor who's caseload consisted of mostly children, teens and their families with the goal of healing trauma and building a safe, loving and respectful environment for all. Over the course of the last decade I have run my own private practice where I've done work with couples, grief and loss, relationship difficulty, divorce, trauma, teens, parenting support, chronic illness and managing various life challenges and mental health concerns my clients need support with. At present, I am in the final stages of completing my Doctorate of Education in Community Care and Counseling with a Traumatology emphasis. This has created opportunity for me to learn even more in the field of trauma and therapeutic treatments that support sustainable healing. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach that has been developed by my 14+ years of therapeutic experience, trainings/practice and my own personal experience as a wife, mother, woman and person navigating life. My treatment style is tailored to what the client needs, honesty in facing the pain or difficulty that client may be managing, while holding hope for healing and a better future. I am a big believer that trauma and life experience wounds can be managed/soothed and no-one is beyond redemption if they choose to start the process of healing. I am looking forward to working with you, your family and your significant others.

Hello! I want my clients to feel empowered by their mental health journey to learn how to love themselves and those around them. I would be honored to walk alongside you! My approach to therapy is "Parts Work" (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), meaning that I believe we have various parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify these parts that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. We will step into a new awareness together and empower you to make the changes you desire. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in multiple mental health conditions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. As a retired collegiate athlete, I also enjoy serving other athletes struggling with anxiety, trauma, and performance. One thing that sets me apart as a therapist is my honest and authentic nature. I truly care about every one of my clients and am committed to helping them grow and thrive. I am ready to join you in your self-discovery and healing journey!

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!
