Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including private practice, early intervention, behavioral health, and community mental health.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate environment where we can work together to understand your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that help you move forward.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while incorporating other evidence-based approaches based on each client’s unique needs. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. I also have experience supporting clients through parenting concerns, adjustment issues, and recovery from difficult life experiences.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide counseling in both English and Spanish. I believe that every person deserves to feel understood and empowered throughout the therapy process.
Reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
