Psychotherapist

*We kindly request intake paperwork to be completed within 24 hours.* I believe my purpose is to help and advocate for children—those who are often unheard, unseen, and misunderstood. Every child deserves the chance to fully embrace the joys and wonders of childhood. I also believe that when individuals—whether children or adults—are nurtured at their foundation, they are better equipped to face life’s challenges with resilience and courage. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, using Child-Centered and Adlerian Play Therapy models and blending directive and non-directive techniques. When working with adults, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to identify practical solutions and empower meaningful change. I also integrate mindfulness, grounding, sand tray, breathing, and art-based techniques, valuing a holistic approach that addresses all areas of life. A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I focus on building genuine connection and trust, and when working with children, I believe strengthening the parent–child bond is a powerful part of healing. Being bilingual in Spanish allows me to serve families from diverse backgrounds. Across my clinical experience, I have supported clients of all ages with anxiety, stress, anger management, emotional regulation, social skills, trauma, self-esteem, school issues, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My work has taken place in private practice, public schools, non-profit organizations, and community programs. Counseling has been a lifelong calling, and I remain committed to continually growing as a clinician to best serve those who entrust me with their care.
