About me
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with thirteen years of experience in the mental health field, serving in outreach, outpatient clinical practice, and supervisory roles. My work is informed by both professional training and personal experience, including my journey raising a child with mental health and intellectual needs. This foundation has shaped my commitment to compassion, advocacy, and resilience, and continues to guide my approach to supporting individuals and families. I have extensive experience providing outpatient services and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, with a focus on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and supporting emotional and behavioral needs across the family system. In my clinical practice, I utilize evidence‑based interventions including CBT, DBT, and TF‑DBT, all within a trauma‑informed framework. My therapeutic style is grounded in person‑centered and humanistic principles, emphasizing dignity, authenticity, and respect in every interaction. I believe that healing is non‑linear and that each person’s story requires thoughtful, individualized care. My focus is on helping clients identify strengths, develop insight, and navigate challenges with practical, realistic strategies that support meaningful change. I provide services in both English and Spanish, ensuring clients can engage in therapy in the language that feels most natural and comfortable for them.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where we move at your pace. My goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very beginning. I start by getting to know you — not just your challenges, but your strengths, values, and what brings you to therapy right now. I’ll ask about what you hope to gain from our work together, and we’ll talk about what feels most important for you to focus on. I won’t rush you or push you into anything you’re not ready for. You guide the pace. I listen closely, offer support, and help you explore what feels meaningful. If trauma or difficult experiences are part of your story, I use a trauma‑focused lens to ensure our work feels safe and empowering. That means we pay attention to what helps you feel grounded, we build trust gradually, and we focus on restoring a sense of choice and control. We’ll also talk about what therapy looks like with me — collaboration, transparency, and respect. I’ll answer any questions you have, explain how sessions typically flow, and check in about what helps you feel comfortable. Most importantly, your first session is about connection. It’s a chance for you to get a feel for my style and decide whether this space feels right for you. My hope is that you leave feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about the work ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
In our work together, you can expect a transparent, collaborative, and clinically thoughtful process. I believe clients make the best decisions for themselves when they have clear information, supportive guidance, and space to explore their experiences without judgment. I am open about what I notice in session, the clinical reasoning behind my reflections, and why I may offer certain suggestions — ensuring you understand the purpose and intention behind our work. I bring a strong foundation in evidence‑based practices, extensive experience working with children and families, and a deeply rooted commitment to compassion and advocacy shaped by my own lived experience. Your autonomy is central to my approach. You set the pace and direction of therapy, and I support that with steady, appropriate challenge when it can deepen insight, strengthen skills, or help you move toward your goals. That challenge is always grounded in respect, realism, and readiness. Because I integrate trauma‑focused care, I prioritize safety, empowerment, and choice. You will never be pushed into areas you are not prepared to explore. Instead, I help you build understanding, resilience, and confidence while honoring your right to make decisions that feel right for you. Above all, my approach is compassionate, practical, and non‑judgmental. I aim to create a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I welcome clients who are seeking a safe, transparent, and collaborative therapeutic relationship — a space where they can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them. I work with individuals who are stable and able to engage in virtual sessions, whether they’re beginning therapy for the first time or returning to continue their healing journey. I’m drawn to working with people who are open to reflection, willing to learn new skills, and ready to engage in a process that balances supportive guidance, appropriate challenge, and personal autonomy. My goal is to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered as they navigate their healing.

My treatment methods
Humanistic
I use a humanistic approach, which means I see you as a whole person with strengths, values, and the ability to grow. In session, you can expect genuine respect, compassion, and honesty. I listen closely, offer clear reflections, and help you explore your experiences without judgment. You stay in control of your choices, and I support you in making decisions that feel right for your life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I draw from CBT to help you notice patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be affecting how you feel. Together, we explore realistic ways to shift those patterns and build practical coping skills. I offer clear, supportive guidance while you stay in control of your choices, making changes at a pace that feels right for you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I draw from DBT to help you build practical skills for managing emotions and staying grounded. Together, we focus on tools like mindfulness, distress‑tolerance, and healthier communication. I offer clear, supportive guidance while you practice these skills, and you choose what feels right for your life.
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma‑informed approach, which means I focus on creating a safe, calm, and respectful space where you can share at your own pace. I pay close attention to what helps you feel grounded and in control, and I’m always transparent about why I offer certain reflections or guidance. Together, we explore your experiences in a way that supports empowerment, choice, and healing — without pressure or judgment.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I draw from Trauma‑Focused CBT to help clients understand how trauma has shaped their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In session, I incorporate specific TF‑CBT techniques such as grounding skills, cognitive restructuring, and gradual exposure to help clients build coping tools and create safer, more empowering ways of responding to difficult experiences. My approach is steady, collaborative, and paced to your comfort — always honoring your lived experience while supporting meaningful, realistic change.
