About me
I bring my experience, training, and care to co-create a relational space for adolescents, adults (young and older), and couples where you can feel steady enough to explore life’s challenges, supporting your unique story.
Hello and welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Whatever prompted your search for a therapist, I know it can sometimes be overwhelming. So, whether this is your first or 97th profile scan, I hope you find a moment of rest here.
I value the transformational nature of presence, empathy, and authenticity. Together we will tailor a holistic approach that is at your pace as I draw from relational, attachment, somatic, and trauma-trained practices. In this safe and non-judgmental space that honors your intersectional identity, I offer a blend of therapeutic methods to co-create experiences where individuals of all ages and couples feel more connected, more understood, and more able to move toward what they need. Together, as we slow down and explore new ways of expressing what words cannot hold, we will form a therapeutic relationship that fosters embodied growth and renewed hope. Through our connection, my wish is that you won’t have to struggle alone, and the door to healing will open a little wider to hope and flourishing.
I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to explore more about how we might work together. I look forward to connecting with you.
I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#158990) and a Registered Professional Clinical Counselor (#20905) under the supervision of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Yamilka Urquiza-Mendoza, PsyD, LMFT 112227, and I practice at Halcyon Family Health.
