Life can get messy and stressful. We can all use a little help from time to time. I am here to help support you on this journey. I am a marriage and family therapist with an undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and a variety of other client centered modalities to help clients feel valued and empowered. ¿Estás listo para vivir una vida más plena? ¿Estás buscando paz y felicidad que sabes está a la vuelta de la esquina, pero necesitas apoyo para llegar allí?

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, trauma and stress management. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse and severe mental health conditions. He trabajado con clientes que experimentan una amplia gama de preocupaciones, como depresión, ansiedad, problemas de relación, desafíos profesionales y manejo del estrés. También he ayudado a muchas personas que han experimentado traumas físicos, abuso emocional y condiciones severas de salud mental.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As human beings we must cater to the mental, physical, and spiritual in order to improve our quality of life and feel happier. I am open to explore all these areas with you on your journey of self-improvement and self-care.

After two sessions with the provider, I have really liked that she pays attention to details, but is warm and solution-oriented. So far, she's been kind and warm whenever I bring up topics and helps me stay on track with topics since I tend to get off track and might get lost in my thoughts.
