I'm fluent in English and Spanish and welcome clients from all backgrounds, including those seeking culturally responsive care in either language.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I value psychotherapy and believe meaningful progress comes from feeling heard, understood, and supported. When appropriate, I also collaborate with your therapist and other healthcare providers—with your consent—to help ensure your care is connected and aligned with your goals.

If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule an appointment. We can start where you are and work together toward feeling more balanced and like yourself again.

I incorporate medication management, psychoeducation, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to promote lasting growth.
