ABOUT
about me
my story.
Know that you are speaking with someone who has personally navigated and overcome many of life’s hardships—trauma, attachment wounds, insecurities, acculturation, grief, loss, and anxiety. These experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, resilient individual who understands firsthand the complexities of healing and growth. Whether we are working together in a therapeutic setting or connecting in another capacity, I remain grounded in my authentic self, bringing a deep sense of empathy and understanding to our interactions.
I believe a competent and skilled therapist is one who uses evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual’s unique needs. These are not just approaches I’ve studied, but methods in which I am specifically trained and certified. I continuously seek to expand my knowledge and skills to ensure that I provide the most effective, up-to-date care possible. Every client is different, and I am committed to applying the right tools and techniques that align with your personal journey, fostering an environment where healing, growth, and lasting change can take place.

A one-on-one therapeutic process provides a safe, confidential, and supportive space where a trained clinician works collaboratively with individuals to better understand themselves and their experiences. This process is designed to help clients improve their emotional well-being, navigate challenges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage life’s difficulties more effectively.
The therapeutic journey also focuses on enhancing self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and empowering the client to make meaningful changes in their life. Whether the goal is overcoming anxiety, healing from past trauma, improving self-esteem, or simply gaining a deeper understanding of oneself, the therapist serves as a compassionate guide, helping the individual move toward personal growth, healing, and a greater sense of fulfillment.

Therapy sessions for children and adolescents are tailored to address their unique emotional, social, and developmental needs. These sessions focus on helping young individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or life transitions, while fostering resilience and self-awareness. Parenting sessions are designed to support caregivers in developing effective strategies to strengthen their relationships with their children, improve communication, and create a safe and nurturing environment at home. Family sessions bring everyone together to enhance family dynamics, resolve conflicts, and build mutual understanding and trust.
The overarching goals of these sessions include enhancing effective communication skills, teaching and practicing safety strategies to create secure relationships, and helping both children and caregivers regulate and model healthy emotional responses. Through this collaborative process, families can build stronger connections and create a foundation for long-term emotional well-being.

This powerful neuroexperiential model is designed to help individuals identify and release the neurophysiological sources of emotional pain, trauma, and distress that may be impacting their well-being. By targeting and addressing these underlying issues, the approach facilitates the processing and resolution of unresolved symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or physical manifestations of stress. This process supports deeper psychological, emotional, and physical healing, empowering individuals to break free from the constraints of past experiences and move toward a healthier, more balanced state of being. Through this method, clients can gain greater clarity, resilience, and an improved quality of life.
