About me
As a marriage & family therapist, I am experienced in guiding individuals, couples, and families as they work through traumatic and complex situations. My style has been described as warm, supportive, and compassionate. I operate from a solution-focused and person-centered approach and see myself as an advocate and cheerleader for my clients.
¡Hola! Hello! If you’re reading this it means you’re likely seeking an opportunity for healing, growth, and connection. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or feel like you need a space to just be YOU. You’ve come to the right place. I would be honored to join you in your journey of healing, recovery, and empowerment. I believe that everyone has the potential to get to where they want to be but often have difficulty identifying and utilizing their resources in times of distress. My goal is to help individuals realize their strengths and use them to their advantage.
I believe in creating a space where people feel comfortable expressing and sharing their feelings, while also having challenging conversations. If this sounds like exactly what you need right now, then let's talk. I look forward to growing with you. ¡Ofrezco servicios en español!
