As a dedicated mental health professional, my approach to patient care is rooted in compassion, authenticity and a deep respect for the unique experiences of every individual. I am committed to working with clients across the lifespan, with a particular passion and expertise in supporting pediatric populations. I strive to create a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel empowered to explore their most vulnerable emotions and experiences, and begin the journey toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, ensuring that safety, trust and empowerment are at the forefront of every therapeutic relationship. Being a multicultural bilingual therapist, who is also part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am deeply committed to culturally sensitive and gender-affirming approaches, recognizing and honoring the diverse identities and backgrounds of those I serve. My goal is to help individuals gain insight into their most authentic selves and build the resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges with strength and confidence.

In addition to my professional functions, I enjoy dancing, painting, and spending time outdoors with my partner and four dogs.
