I am a professional clinical counselor with a passion for helping clients meet their therapeutic goals. I have worked with a wide range of diverse individuals which has enabled me to become more understanding of various backgrounds, cultures and their dynamics.
Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us. Many are emerging from very unhealthy relationships with themselves or others and often seek complete rewiring of their relationship patterns.
It brings me pure joy to help those who are hurting begin to reclaim themselves as whole beings, where their capacity to co-create and experience transformation becomes expansive and limitless. After a traumatic event, living with a mental illness, or working through dark times, a person often feels helpless, lost and detached from their true personality. I am committed to a collaborative approach where I meet my clients where they are at and together we go to a depth beyond the surface. I am here not only as the emotional support you will need but am also here to coach you through each phase. With warmth and compassion, I help create a space where I not only help my clients feel heard and validated, but also work towards the goal of finding healthy and effective solutions.
As a veteran of the United States Army who served as a Military Police Officer, I developed resilience and a deep appreciation for the human experience. My experience here and as a mental health clinician has equipped me with valuable insights into the complexities of trauma, unhealed wounds, and broken relationships, which can contribute to silent pain and profound struggles. My journey has fueled my commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who feel alone, unheard, invalidated, tired, depressed, disconnected, and anxious. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.
I am a bilingual (Spanish & English) Mental Health therapist committed to helping kids, adolescents, and adults, build healthier relationships while also learning more about themselves. I provide my clients with the safe space and comfort to be able to express their feelings, build coping skills, and engage in meaningful conversations to assist them growing individually.
Areas of practice include: trauma, depression, behavioral problems, self-esteem, building coping skills, anxiety, play therapy, couples therapy, and PTSD.
In addition, I also am certified in Triple P, which is a great parenting program for parents with children demonstrating behavior problems.
I hope to be able to assist you in your journey of life.

I believe that every individual—regardless of socioeconomic status, environment, ethnicity, or disability—has the potential to contribute something meaningful to society and achieve success. My work as a counselor and professor has shown me that growth begins with the right environment and the right support.
In every session, I strive to create a positive learning environment where individuals feel safe, respected, and empowered. I challenge clients to explore new perspectives, encouraging them to think critically and embrace change. Most importantly, I lead with empathy—because I’ve learned that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
