A bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. I’ve had the privilege of working in both the nonprofit sector and private practice, which has given me a deep understanding of the diverse challenges and strengths that clients bring to therapy.

​

My work is grounded in three core values: authenticity, relational trust, and choice. These principles shape every session and guide how I show up as your therapist. I believe genuine connection, respect for your boundaries, and collaborative decision-making create the foundation for meaningful, lasting healing. In our work together, I strive to ensure you always feel seen, heard, and in control of your process.

​

My goal is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly, explore your experiences without judgment, and make sense of the patterns and emotions that influence your life. Therapy with me is not about perfection—it’s about understanding yourself more deeply, building resilience, and moving toward the life you want with compassion and clarity.
