About
I specialize in working with adults who are navigating life transitions, emotional distress, and relationship challenges. My clients often struggle with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, attachment wounds, communication difficulties, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck in relationships or in their personal growth.They typically come to therapy wanting to feel more grounded, improve their relationships, better understand themselves, and develop healthier ways of coping with emotions and life challenges. My ideal clients are those who are ready to explore patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and relationships and are open to meaningful change.
My Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and emotions. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based approaches and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This allows me to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, understand how early and current relationships impact their emotional world, and build stronger, more secure connections with themselves and others. What makes my approach unique is the combination of practical tools for symptom relief with deeper relational work that supports long-term emotional growth and healing.
Why I Love This Work
I deeply value the opportunity to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences and begin to heal. It is meaningful to witness clients gain insight, reconnect with themselves, and begin to shift long-standing patterns that have impacted their relationships and well-being. Being part of someone’s growth process—especially when they begin to feel more empowered, connected, and emotionally secure—is what continues to inspire me in this work.
What I Want For You
I want you to experience greater emotional clarity, stability, and self-understanding. I want you to feel more confident in your relationships, more connected to yourself, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges. My hope is that through our work together, you develop healthier relationship patterns, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of emotional security—so you can build a life and relationships that feel fulfilling, balanced, and authentic.
My Specialties, Background and Personal Interests
I have over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, working in diverse clinical settings with individuals from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, religious, and sexual orientation backgrounds. These experiences have shaped my inclusive, culturally responsive approach to therapy. Over the past six years, my clinical focus has been primarily on adult clients, with an emphasis on emotional well-being. I specialize in helping clients understand attachment patterns, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen interpersonal relationships. I am fluent in English and Spanish and also speak conversational French. In my free time you will catch me at the beach with my kids or reading a good book while drinking coffee.
