Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Taking the first step toward healing takes courage, and I honor that. Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking a space to feel heard, I believe you already carry the strength and resilience needed to move forward. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, tools, and a safe space to grow. I’m a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through trauma, grief, and life’s challenges. I’ve worked with diverse populations from young migrant children to survivors of community, domestic, and sexual violence—and I’ve witnessed the incredible capacity humans have to heal and thrive. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and I’m certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR-trained, and a Registered Play Therapist. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate evidence-based modalities to foster resilience, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. Whether you're seeking clarity, coping strategies, or deeper healing, I’ll meet you where you are—with compassion, transparency, and respect. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me curled up with a book, volunteering at my church, or spending time with my two cats and three dogs. I also enjoy the occasional Netflix binge—because balance matters. If you're ready to explore whether we're a good fit, I’d love to hear from you. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by District of Columbia rather than a neighborhood like Adams Morgan?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in District of Columbia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across District of Columbia from The Navy Yard to Georgetown! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in District of Columbia.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
