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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
