I believe every journey begins with a single first step. Here you are…you’ve made that crucial first step. I will bring a spirit of warmth, authenticity, and compassion to our work together…and a bit of humor from time to time as well. I will hold no judgement about the past as we work together toward the future you desire. You can learn to communicate your needs and manage conflict. I became a therapist because I have personally experienced the power of therapy. You are the expert on you. My job is to walk alongside you as you explore where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go.I create a nurturing environment where you can freely express your thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams. Together, we'll navigate the pathways of your journey, fostering a spirit of curiosity, compassion, clarity, and courage. I hold an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Concentration in Latinx Counseling.I believe we already have within us everything we need to grow into the person we want to be. Relationships are hard! And we are hard-wired to be in relationships with ourselves and with others. I view being a counselor as a sacred privilege. Seeking help is an act of vulnerability. Being vulnerable is an act of courage. I treasure the trust placed in me.
