Are you looking for a judgment-free space to vent, reflect, or problem-solve?

I believe that everyone holds resilience and autonomy within themselves—sometimes, all it takes is a safe, supportive environment to help those strengths shine through. My approach combines client-centered empathy with evidence-based techniques from CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing.

Outside of my therapeutic work, I enjoy playing and listening to music, working on art projects, reading, and writing—creative outlets that inspire my practice and help deepen my connection with clients.

As a bilingual psychotherapist, I work with children, teens, and adults (ages 5+), supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and more.

Whatever you're going through, you don't have to face it alone. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a free 15-minute consultation. Taking the first step can feel daunting—but I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
