(she/her)
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 13 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, and relational stress. I take an integrative, compassion-focused approach, using evidence-based strategies to help you explore patterns affecting self-esteem, communication, and emotional well-being. Together, we work to uncover insight, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change aligned with your values and goals.
In our first session, we’ll start with introductions, and I’ll answer any questions you have about the therapy process, especially if this is your first time starting therapy. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in taking this step. We’ll talk about what’s been bringing you stress or uncertainty and outline your goals, so I can start tailoring a plan that fits your unique needs and pace.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapy methods to find what works best for you. I look at the bigger picture, how relationships, environment, and past experiences shape what you’re feeling today. Clients describe my style as compassionate and grounded. I help you make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck and support you in building new ways of thinking, relating, and caring for yourself. I also offer bilingual support in both English and Spanish, allowing Spanish-speaking clients to express themselves more fully and authentically in the language that feels most natural to them.
I work best with busy, overwhelmed adults, especially parents, who feel like they’re constantly “on” but still struggling internally. You may be managing work, family, and daily responsibilities while feeling anxious, stressed, or mentally exhausted. Many of my clients experience high-functioning anxiety and deal with overthinking, irritability, burnout, or difficulty slowing down. You might find yourself putting everyone else first, struggling with people-pleasing or setting boundaries, or feeling like you don’t have space to breathe. Often, the people I work with are used to “pushing through,” but are starting to realize that something needs to change. I work best with clients who want a space where they can be real, feel understood, and learn practical tools for managing stress, improving emotional regulation, and creating more balance in their daily lives. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just a willingness to reflect, be honest, and take small, realistic steps forward.
Integrative
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models to best meet each client’s unique needs. I combine relational and cognitive-behavioral perspectives to explore how your thoughts, emotions, and environments interact. Together, we uncover the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build strategies that promote balance, growth, and alignment with your values and life goals.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use an Emotionally Focused (EFT-informed) approach to help clients understand and process core emotions, attachment patterns, and relational wounds that contribute to distress. My work focuses on creating emotional safety, increasing awareness of underlying emotional needs, and supporting clients in expressing emotions in healthier and more connected ways. I integrate EFT principles into both individual and couples therapy, particularly when working with anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and self-worth, often alongside CBT and supportive interventions.
Compassion Focused
Starting therapy is a big and brave step. My approach is rooted in compassion, creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and free to be honest about what you’re going through. Compassion often becomes the foundation for healing, helping you build self-acceptance and a sense of safety within yourself. Through a compassion-focused approach, I'll be meeting you where you are, without judgment, because compassion often opens the door to healing and self-acceptance. This approach is especially helpful for clients struggling with self-criticism, shame, or anxiety.
EMDR
I completed EMDR training in 2022 and incorporate this approach when appropriate to help clients work through past experiences, trauma, or memories that contribute to current stress, anxiety, or emotional struggles. EMDR can often accelerate healing and reduce symptoms in a shorter timeframe.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often integrate CBT techniques to help you identify patterns of thinking that contribute to stress, anxiety, or self-doubt. Together, we work on building practical tools for managing these thoughts, developing emotional awareness, and creating new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

I had to confess that I've been the villain in this story for a while now, but am now ready to be the superhero.
