I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes meaningful change happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported. I work with individuals, children, adolescents, and families, meeting you where you are while honoring your lived experiences and strengths. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and intentional. I use practical, evidence-based approaches alongside genuine connection to support healing, personal growth, and lasting change.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
A welcoming space where we take time to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what’s been feeling hard lately, and what you’re hoping for, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I focus on listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and helping you feel supported and understood. Together, we’ll begin to make sense of your current situation and gently shape a clear, meaningful path forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I focus on understanding both the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing and the challenges you’re facing right now. I prioritize the progress that matters most to you, guided by your values, goals, and readiness for change, not by pressure or expectations. I draw from CBT and other evidence-based approaches while staying attuned to your strengths, helping you build insight, practical skills, and confidence.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Clients who are open to exploring different areas of their lives, motivated to grow, and seeking a supportive guide along the way. Whether you are working through life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply wanting to strengthen your coping skills, I enjoy partnering with clients who value collaboration.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core treatment method due to its structured, hands-on approach to addressing unhelpful thought patterns. I find that this method offers tangible, measurable progress as clients are able to develop practical tools to manage their emotions and reactions. One of the aspects I particularly appreciate about CBT is its focus on addressing patterns of thinking that no longer serve the individual’s well-being. By working collaboratively, we identify those cognitive distortions and work towards reframing them in a way that is more aligned with the client’s goals and values. CBT also offers a variety of techniques that clients can practice outside of sessions, reinforcing the skills learned. These exercises help make the changes feel more attainable, and clients often notice a significant reduction in stress and anxiety when faced with challenging life situations.
Faith based therapy
Faith-based therapy is a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a client’s spiritual and religious beliefs to support healing, emotional well-being, and personal growth. When clients choose to include faith in therapy, I help them explore how their belief system can serve as a source of strength, meaning, and guidance while navigating life’s challenges. This approach honors each client’s values and autonomy, using spirituality as a supportive resource alongside clinical care.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is a therapeutic approach that recognizes how trauma and significant life experiences impact the nervous system, emotional regulation, coping patterns, and relationships. This method emphasizes safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment while avoiding re-traumatization. In therapy, I integrate trauma-informed principles by working collaboratively with clients to understand how past experiences influence present responses. Treatment focuses on building awareness, strengthening practical coping skills, supporting nervous system regulation, and fostering a sense of choice and control. Clients are supported in moving at their own pace within a respectful and compassionate therapeutic relationship.
