Why did you become a therapist?
I became a therapist because I’ve always been deeply interested in people and their stories, their relationships, what shapes them, and what helps them heal.
I believe that sometimes people don’t need someone to “fix” them; they need a safe space where they can finally feel heard, understood, and supported as they work through what they’re carrying.
Becoming a therapist has allowed me to combine my passion for helping others with my belief that meaningful change is possible, even during some of life’s most difficult seasons.
What kind of energy do you bring into therapy?
I bring a warm, funny, compassionate, and genuine presence. I want my clients to feel that they can show up as their whole selves without having to perform, have everything figured out, or worry about being judged. I’m supportive and empathetic, but I also believe in gently challenging clients when it can help them grow. My goal is for therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, curious, and human.
What types of clients do you love working with most?
I especially enjoy working with adults and young adults who may be navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, self-worth, identity, or feeling stuck in patterns they want to understand and change. I also really value working with clients who are ready to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and create a life that feels more aligned with who they are, not simply what others expect of them.
As a bilingual therapist, I also love being able to provide that space in both English and Spanish.
What do you hope every client feels after a session?
I hope they leave feeling seen, understood, and a little lighter. Therapy doesn’t always mean leaving with everything solved. Sometimes the most meaningful outcome is simply feeling less alone, understanding yourself a little better, or leaving with one new perspective or tool that you can carry into your week.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, baking sourdough bread, being outdoors, traveling, and discovering new places. I’ve recently been getting more into cycling, and I love activities that challenge me while still allowing me to have fun. I also enjoy learning, spending intentional time with the people I love, and finding the little things in everyday life that help me feel grounded and connected.
If someone is nervous about therapy, what would you tell them?
I would tell them that being nervous is completely normal. You don’t have to know exactly what to say or have a perfectly organized explanation for why you’re there. Therapy is not a test, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. We can start wherever you are, at your own pace. My hope is that over time, therapy becomes a place where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious about yourself, and confident that you don’t have to navigate everything alone.
