"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with kids, teens, and their families. I have a dual emphasis degree in Clinical Mental Health and Marriage, Couples, and Families. I have been working with individuals and families for over 8 years in creating a safe space to guide and facilitate behavioral change to reach their goals and dreams. I look forward to working with you.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My practice is grounded in compassion, warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth and healing. I believe that healing happens within a safe, nonjudgmental relationship, where you feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll work to explore the challenges you’re facing, uncover underlying patterns, and develop tools that empower you to live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.
