My communication style

I believe the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important cornerstones for change. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and authentic. I want you to feel safe to be yourself and to feel both understood and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in therapy began early and was confirmed through volunteering and field experience. I am passionate about helping people continue to heal, grow, and develop throughout their lives.

My goals for you

I want to help you believe that you can make changes and achieve your goals. Through our work together, we identify the specific goals you'd like to accomplish. We work backward from those goals to create action items, address challenges, and track your progress.

Our first session

Our first session will be a chance for us to meet and begin discussing your concerns and challenges that have led you to seek therapy. I will ask questions, listen, and answer any questions you have. Once I understand how you've been feeling and what you'd like to work on, we can discuss our treatment plan and your options for different approaches.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
