What would it look like to offer yourself the same kindness you so freely offer others? I'm a licensed therapist who helps women who are carrying more than anyone realizes. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past, I specialize in Christian counseling for those who want to integrate faith, while also warmly welcoming clients who prefer a non-faith-based approach. I help women relate differently to their thoughts, break unhelpful patterns and move toward a meaningful life with greater self-compassion ---------- Cómo sería tu vida si te trataras con la misma amabilidad y comprensión que les ofreces a los demás? Soy una terapeuta licenciada y bilingüe. Trabajo con mujeres que muchas veces parecen tener todo bajo control por fuera, pero que por dentro se sienten abrumadas por las exigencias de la vida, relaciones difíciles o heridas del pasado. Me especializo en consejería cristiana para quienes desean integrar su fe en el proceso terapéutico, y también doy una cálida bienvenida a quienes prefieren un enfoque no basado en la fe. Mi trabajo consiste en ayudarte a relacionarte de una manera diferente con tus pensamientos, identificar y romper patrones que ya no te sirven, y comenzar a responder a los desafíos de la vida con mayor equilibrio y autocompasión.

Get to know me

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

Our work begins with a brief consultation to ensure we’re a good fit and that you feel comfortable. During our initial session, I focus on understanding your story, identifying the specific patterns that leave you feeling "stuck," and setting goals for our time together. ---------- Nuestro trabajo comienza con una breve consulta para asegurarnos de que somos una buena opción la una para la otra y de que te sientas cómoda. Durante nuestra primera sesión, me enfocaré en conocer tu historia, identificar los patrones específicos que te mantienen sintiéndote estancada y definir metas claras para nuestro trabajo juntas.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a calm, compassionate presence into each session to help women feel supported. My desire is to create a space where women feel genuinely heard and understood, especially when they are carrying a lot internally. Having walked through my own difficult seasons, I bring more than just clinical expertise to our sessions. Knowing what it feels like to seek healing allows me to sit alongside you with deeply rooted compassion and authenticity. ---------- En cada sesión, procuro ofrecer una presencia tranquila y compasiva para que las mujeres se sientan apoyadas y acompañadas. Mi deseo es crear un espacio donde puedas sentirte verdaderamente escuchada y comprendida, especialmente cuando llevas mucho peso emocional por dentro.Habiendo atravesado mis propias temporadas difíciles, ofrezco más que solo conocimientos clínicos. Conocer de primera mano lo que significa buscar sanidad y crecimiento me permite acompañarte con una compasión genuina, empatía y autenticidad.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to support women struggling with anxiety, overthinking, loneliness, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the effects of painful past experiences. Many of the women I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed and tired of carrying everything on their own. I help clients develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings so they can respond to life with greater self-compassion, resilience, and purpose. For clients who desire it, I also offer counseling that honors the Christian faith by integrating evidence-based therapy with biblical values, prayer, and space for spiritual concerns as part of the healing process.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I help women learn how to cope with overwhelming emotions and difficult situations while reconnecting with the things that matter most to them. Together, we work on responding to life’s challenges with greater self-compassion, clarity, and purpose.

Christian Counseling

I offer Christian counseling for women who want their faith to be part of the counseling process. This can include integration of Scripture in a thoughtful way, addressing your current situation through a biblical lens, and strengthening spiritual resilience during difficult seasons. Together, we can explore topics like anxiety, relationships, loneliness, forgiveness, identity, and life changes while seeking healing, hope, and a deeper connection with God. I welcome women at all stages of faith, including those who feel distant from God or unsure of where they stand spiritually.
