I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens, adults, and children ages 7 and older navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel understood and supported. I draw from person-centered therapy, attachment work, mindfulness, and I’m trained in EMDR to help process past experiences. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

In both my professional and personal experiences, I have come to realize that healing starts in an environment where individuals feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we will identify obstacles to well-being, develop effective coping mechanisms, and cultivate the skills needed to achieve robust emotional health and a more fulfilling life. I utilize evidence-based practice strategies to assist individuals in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and personal development, among other issues. My goal is to foster a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely examine their thoughts and emotions as part of a healing process, progressing toward a state of freedom and holistic wellness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based, creating a supportive space where you can heal, grow, and feel emotionally grounded again.

Everyone has a story, and I believe healing begins when someone finally has the space to tell it without fear of judgment.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life's unexpected challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long, therapy can become a place where things begin to make sense again.

I spent more than 25 years walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult moments. Today, I combine that life experience with evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward lasting change.

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better—it's to help you heal in ways that create meaningful and lasting transformation.

My approach to counseling was forged in the trenches of real-world recovery. For four years, I practiced at A Healthy Image Counseling and Consulting Services, where I worked extensively with court-mandated probation services, mental health, and substance abuse.

It was during those years—sitting face-to-face with individuals navigating some of the most difficult, high-stakes chapters of their lives—that my core philosophy was born. Through many raw, honest confides, I realized that true recovery and growth do not come from shame or forced compliance. Instead, they come when we have the courage to look beneath the surface of our behaviors and understand the "why" behind our actions.

I want you to know that when you sit across from me, you are in a completely non-judgmental space. I am uniquely equipped to handle heavy, complex struggles, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate:

• Substance Use & Addiction Recovery: Moving past shame to address the underlying pain, trauma, or habits driving substance use.
• Court-Mandated & System-Involved Support: Providing practical, respectful therapy for those navigating probation, legal stressors, or rehabilitation.
• Shadow Work & Self-Discovery: Unpacking deeply rooted patterns, behaviors, and defense mechanisms to foster genuine self-compassion.
• I'm also bilingual and offer sessions in both English and Spanish — ofrezco terapia en español.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges. When this happens they may find themselves asking, "Who is there to listen without judgement?" or "Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?" These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it's too much to navigate on their own.

I'm a strong advocate, and I can help you to advocate for yourself too. I can be a listening ear, a helper, someone to have an open honest dialogue with. I use humor and relationship to help people feel well supported and motivated towards their goals.

I believe therapy should feel safe, accepting, and personalized to you. Whether you’re struggling with something from your past, feeling overwhelmed, navigating a relationship, or simply know that something needs to change, I’ll take the time to understand your experiences and what matters most to you.

My goal is to help you feel understood, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that create meaningful change in your everyday life.
