About
I know what it feels like to navigate life's hardest moments, and that lived experience helps me show up with genuine empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others heal.
Hi, I'm a therapist with a Master of Social Work who believes meaningful change happens through authentic connection. As a Hispanic therapist, I value the role culture, family, and lived experiences play in healing. My own experiences with loss and adversity have shaped the compassion I bring to my work. Drawing from relationship-based approaches, including DIR/Floortime, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment principles, and DIR/Floortime. My goal is to help clients develop insight, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and gain practical tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence.
Life can bring moments of uncertainty, loss, and change, but you do not have to face them alone. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered. When you're ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin the process of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

As an African American, cisgender Female, I am passionate and relational when working with communities of color, and I understand the importance of being seen and understood, while also recognizing the need to express personal experiences without judgment.
I am an associate clinical social worker (ACSW) with 3 years of experience providing client-centered, trauma-informed care. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity- or relationship-related concerns. My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practice, and I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward emotional stability and personal growth.
I have my master’s degree in social welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, talk therapy, and trauma-informed care. When appropriate, I incorporate creative, play-based, and expressive techniques to support emotional processing in a developmentally responsive way.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer a collaborative and supportive environment where your experiences are honored, and your goals guide our work. Together, we will build insight, resilience, and practical coping skills to help you move forward with clarity and confidence

I believe that true healing involves the whole self—mind, body, and breath—and I guide clients toward balance through an integrative, embodied approach.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience helping individuals strengthen the mind-body connection to support emotional healing. I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder, and I look forward to expanding my practice to include children in the future. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—I listen closely and partner with you to find strategies that fit your unique needs, helping you feel grounded, empowered, and more connected to yourself.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and have a background in nutrition. I take a holistic approach that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused therapy with mindfulness, breathwork, and movement.
Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where your experiences are honored. Together, we can begin exploring a path toward a more grounded, authentic, and fulfilled version of you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
