Whether there's resurfacing trauma or you're in the process of revisiting identities and beliefs due to life transitions, therapy can be a healing space to process how all those disruptions are impacting your sense of Self, and mood.

Who we were, are, and will be is permeated by relationships with ourselves and others - I believe the therapeutic relationship can promote healing, which means our relationship is adjacent to your therapy process, and building safety and trust is a fundamental part of our journey together.
I invite you to build a space that feels supportive of your emotional needs and incorporates what is most alive to you at each session.

I am curious about hard-to-answer questions, ultimate concerns of life (i.e., death, freedom, existential isolation, and meaninglessness) and I believe in finding creative ways - and inviting creativity - to sustain the challenging task that is to live.
I am passionate about the encounters of people from different cultures and ethnicities, what we share in common, how we differ, and how we respond to life requests. I appreciate supporting clients who are going through acculturation processes (due to immigration, first/second generation, etc) and partnering in their path of learning how to be a heterogeneous person who holds values and beliefs from different origins.

I have worked in many different settings such as school-based services, older adults clinic, pro-bono clinic, non-profit agencies, and private practice, offering group, individual, and couple’s therapy.

I found in Existential/Humanistic approaches a language that speaks to my core as a therapist and a way to meet people where they’re at. I am also very influenced by Gestalt therapy and other somatic approaches, holding a holistic point of view. Considering all those influences, in the therapy room, I aim to provide a non-judgmental and safe environment where people get to express themselves as they are in the moment. I'm here to be with you through challenging and disruptive seasons.
