Nice to meet you
I have 19+ years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-criticism. My style is warm, collaborative, curious, and engaged. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is central to my work, helping clients understand themselves with greater compassion. As a bilingual English/Spanish therapist, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to each client’s needs.
