(she/her)
Seeking support is an important step, and I’m glad you’re here. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts with a focus on dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I am passionate about supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in working toward their personal goals. My approach is strengths-based and individualized, drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness. I aim to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, using practical, collaborative strategies grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles.
Our first session will focus on introductions and understanding the concerns that brought you to therapy. From there, we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan to guide our work together. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable, respected, and heard.
Over the past 12 years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages in different settings, including residential facilities, schools, group homes, clinics, and hospitals. It's been incredibly meaningful to support such a diverse population in achieving their unique therapeutic goals.
I take great pleasure in offering support to individuals facing tough adjustments, providing a nurturing environment where they can heal and thrive.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to equip you with effective coping skills for various challenges. CBT is dedicated to understanding how thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes influence emotions and negative thinking patterns. Through collaborative effort, we will pinpoint unconstructive thoughts that may be hindering your daily functioning and devise more beneficial and harmonious thought processes. We’ll work together to identify unhealthful thoughts may be impacting your daily functioning and find more helpful and balanced thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I've got plenty of experience helping others through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to learn how to live in the moment, handle stress in healthy ways, manage emotions, and build better relationships.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is all about helping you develop psychological flexibility and embracing your negative thoughts and feelings instead of trying to push them away. It's about accepting your thoughts, life experiences, and feelings without any judgment. We're here to support you as you work through difficult emotions and move forward on your healing journey, rather than getting stuck in a cycle of negativity.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate mindfulness to gently guide individuals in learning meditation, relaxation, and awareness, helping them to center their focus on the present moment and navigate everyday stress in a nonjudgmental and calm manner.
Motivational Interviewing
I understand how challenging it can be to make changes, and I've used Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help people like you increase their motivation and make positive behavioral changes. This technique is particularly effective for those who may feel hesitant or unable to change unhelpful behaviors. MI is a compassionate counseling approach that can be used to address a wide range of conditions, such as addiction, mental health, parenting, eating disorders, hoarding, and other co-occurring disorders. We're here to support you in identifying what you'd like to change and creating a plan to move forward.
