I am a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) that believes therapy should be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Reaching out for help takes courage, and you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I support adults and older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, panic attacks, emotional burnout, chronic stress, grief, chronic pain, and difficult life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating divorce, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, women’s and men’s issues, caregiving responsibilities, retirement, and adjustments related to medical conditions or changes in health. Many clients seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. I provide support in exploring the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be impacting your relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and create practical solutions to help you regain balance and confidence. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to your unique needs and goals. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based counseling to help you better understand yourself, manage symptoms, and create meaningful change. Therapy is tailored to your individual experiences, values, and personal journey. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building resilience, improving relationships, and developing the skills needed to create a more fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, emotional burnout, relationship difficulties, chronic stress, chronic pain, or adjusting to a major life transition, I am here to support you in taking the next steps toward healing and growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater emotional wellness and a renewed sense of hope.
What You Can Expect in Therapy Sessions Therapy is a collaborative process designed to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and feel more equipped to manage life’s challenges. I believe meaningful change happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, respect, and understanding. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, exploring difficult emotions, and working toward the goals that matter most to you. Whether you are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, emotional burnout, chronic stress, grief, relationship concerns, divorce, family conflict, chronic pain, or adjustment to major life transitions, our sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and experiences. I work with adults and older adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. Therapy provides an opportunity to slow down, gain insight, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and develop practical skills to create positive change. Your First Therapy Session During your first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We will discuss your current concerns, emotional challenges, personal history, relationships, support system, and any life experiences that may be contributing to your current struggles. This may include exploring symptoms related to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stress, mood changes, grief, relationship difficulties, chronic health concerns, or significant life transitions. We will also discuss what you hope to accomplish through therapy and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. I will explain the therapy process, review confidentiality and expectations, and answer any questions you may have. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling understood, supported, and confident that therapy can be a helpful step toward improving your emotional well-being. Ongoing Therapy Sessions In follow-up sessions, we will continue building on the goals established during your initial appointment. Together, we will explore thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences that may be contributing to feelings of distress or difficulty coping. We will work toward understanding patterns that may keep you feeling stuck and develop healthier ways to respond to challenges. Depending on your individual needs, sessions may focus on managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, reducing panic symptoms, improving emotional regulation, strengthening coping skills, processing grief and loss, managing emotional burnout, or navigating chronic stress. We may also address relationship and communication concerns, including divorce, marital challenges, family conflict, boundary setting, and improving connections with others. For individuals experiencing major life changes, therapy can provide support while adjusting to retirement, caregiving responsibilities, medical conditions, chronic pain, changes in health, or other unexpected transitions. These experiences can impact identity, relationships, confidence, and overall quality of life. Our work together will focus on helping you adapt, identify your strengths, and create a greater sense of balance and control. Therapeutic Approach My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. I use evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based approaches. These methods can help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and create practical steps toward your goals. Therapy is not about changing who you are—it is about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience. We will work together to identify what is working, explore areas where you would like to grow, and create strategies that fit your lifestyle and personal values. Progress and Growth in Therapy Throughout treatment, we will regularly review your progress and adjust your goals as needed. Therapy is a process, and growth may look different for each person. Some individuals may focus on symptom reduction, while others may work on improving relationships, increasing self-confidence, developing healthier boundaries, or finding meaning during difficult transitions. I believe every person has the ability to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. My role is to support you, provide guidance, and help you develop the skills needed to manage challenges more effectively. Together, we will work toward improving your emotional wellness, strengthening relationships, and helping you create a more balanced and fulfilling life. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your therapy journey. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, burnout, relationship challenges, chronic stress, chronic pain, grief, or a significant life transition, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to move forward with greater hope and confidence.
One of the greatest strengths I bring to therapy is my ability to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect is the foundation for meaningful change. Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you have been managing stress, anxiety, emotional pain, relationship challenges, or difficult life experiences on your own. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story, exploring your concerns, and working toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. With over 18 years of clinical experience, I have supported adults through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, grief, emotional burnout, chronic stress, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma, chronic pain, medical concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that every person’s journey is unique, and I believe therapy should be personalized to your individual needs, strengths, values, and goals. A unique strength I bring to my practice is my experience working in medical settings alongside physicians, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals. This experience has provided me with a deeper understanding of the connection between mental and physical health. I have collaborated with medical providers to support individuals managing psychiatric symptoms, chronic medical conditions, medication changes, and the emotional challenges that often accompany health concerns. This background allows me to provide coordinated, evidence-based treatment while focusing on the whole person—not just the symptoms. My therapeutic approach combines compassion, understanding, and practical skill-building. I believe therapy should provide both emotional support and tools that can be used in everyday life. Together, we will explore patterns that may be contributing to distress, develop healthier coping strategies, and create realistic steps toward positive change. I have experience helping individuals manage anxiety, panic attacks, depression, mood concerns, and emotional exhaustion. Anxiety and panic symptoms can affect relationships, work, and daily functioning. I help clients understand triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop strategies to regain a sense of control. For individuals experiencing depression or burnout, we focus on improving motivation, reconnecting with meaningful activities, strengthening coping skills, and rebuilding confidence. I also support individuals navigating ADHD challenges, including difficulty with focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients better understand their unique needs while developing strategies that improve daily functioning and self-confidence. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, and individuals experiencing chronic stress from work, relationships, family responsibilities, or major life changes. I help clients recognize burnout, establish healthier boundaries, improve work-life balance, and reconnect with what brings meaning and purpose to their lives. Relationships are another important area of my work. I support individuals experiencing divorce, relationship conflict, communication difficulties, family stress, and challenges with emotional connection. Together, we explore patterns, boundaries, and communication skills to help create healthier and more fulfilling relationships. I believe people have the ability to heal, grow, and create meaningful change, even during difficult seasons of life. My role is to help you recognize your strengths, build resilience, and develop the skills needed to navigate challenges with greater confidence. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, chronic stress, chronic pain, burnout, or a major life transition, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized, evidence-based care. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater balance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.
My ideal client is capable, dependable, and used to handling a lot. On paper, your life may look steady—career, relationships, responsibilities all in place. But underneath, you might feel drained, disconnected, or caught in patterns you can’t fully make sense of. Anxiety can show up as constant overthinking, tension in your relationships, or a sense that you’re no longer fully yourself. You’re looking for clarity, more effective communication, and healthier ways to manage stress without losing who you are. I offer solution-focused, trauma, and cognitive behavior therapy. We will work beyond coping skills and discover what’s contributing to your stress and patterns, and build skills you can actually use in your daily life. My approach is grounded in proven methods and designed to help you create noticeable, meaningful change. You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. When something feels off or heavier than it should, it’s worth paying attention to. Therapy helps to sort through what’s going on, gain direction, and move forward with intention. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again—clear, steady, and confident in how you show up in your life & relationships.

I have extensive experience utilizing Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and capacity for change. This approach focuses on identifying what is already working and building on those successes to develop practical, achievable solutions. SFBT is effective in addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions by promoting resilience and forward-focused change.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. For example, if you often think “I’m not good enough,” we’ll work on identifying that pattern, challenging it, and replacing it with more balanced thinking. If anxiety leads you to avoid certain situations, we’ll gradually build skills and confidence to face them. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on giving you tools you can use in everyday life.

Experience brought me to the provider. She was very open and warm but also direct and solution oriented in her approach to help me figure out if what she could provide would be a good fit. She allowed me to ask questions honestly and I felt that I could do so without feeling hesitant or at the risk of offending her. Overall a great experience and great practice with being able to make a decision in a systematic way as opposed to solely based on how it felt. Would recommend😌
