I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.
Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.
I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.
I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.
I have over 25 years of experience as a therapist. I believe finding meaning,purpose and connection is the best way to wellness and happiness. I am here to hear your story.
Each client is an individual which requires not a one size fits all treatment approach. I have over 10 years of prescribing experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and unde4rstand that not every person requires the same treatment plan. I also provide MAT, ie, suboxone, vivitrol, naltrexone for Opioid Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder in a non judgmental private setting.
I have a history working in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings throughout my career. I developed a passion for helping marginalized groups, specifically the LGBTQIA+ and queer communities, and for helping all people address the trauma in their lives. I have experience with adults with a variety of mental health and substance use disorders, but I also enjoy working with people who just need support through various transitions and struggles in their lives.
As a bilingual psychotherapist having worked with a wide range of demographics and populations over the years, i have learned providing a nonjudgemental and warm space is the foundation of effective therapy. Whether this is your first time in therapy or returning back, we will work together in achieving your goals by tailoring the tools specifically to your needs.

I have 30 years of clinical experience. My therapeutic style with clients is direct, grounded, and deeply compassionate. I believe in creating a space that is both supportive and structured, where clients feel respected, heard, and challenged in meaningful ways.
I bring a calm, steady presence, particularly in high-stress or crisis situations, helping clients feel contained and focused even when things feel overwhelming. At the same time, I am honest and straightforward—I don’t avoid difficult conversations, but I approach them with care, professionalism, and respect.
