Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, not just heard, but understood. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I'm not here to hand you a list of techniques and send you on your way; I'm here to work alongside you, at your pace, toward change that actually sticks. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused approaches to help you build practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're navigating something acute or untangling patterns that have followed you for years, we'll work together to make sense of what's happening and figure out what to do about it. I bring cultural humility to every session and have worked with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I also offer services in Spanish for clients who prefer to do this work in their first language. My goal is simple: help you feel less overwhelmed, more grounded, and more like yourself.
