My diverse clinical background equips me to support you through a wide range of mental health struggles and life shifts. I specialize in trauma-informed care with dedicated training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Because of my background in social work, I bring practical tools, resource connections, and actionable guidance to help you navigate your unique challenges. Whatever your age or life stage, I have the experience and training to walk alongside you.
Children (Ages 5+)
I help children rise to academic challenges, adjust to learning disability diagnoses, manage disruptive behaviors, and adapt smoothly to a new home, culture, or school. I use creative, child-centered play therapy and specialized trauma-informed care to make healing a safe, gentle process.
Teens
I support teenagers dealing with academic and social stress while providing a non-judgmental space to process trauma and stabilize during major transitions. I offer a safe, age-appropriate environment for teens to explore their sexual and gender identity or navigate the coming-out process.
Young Adults
I provide an identity-affirming space to help you process minority stress, navigate neurodivergent unmasking and burnout, and cope with eco-anxiety and future dread. Together, we will untangle how systemic pressures impact your mental health, validate your lived experiences, and build sustainable, practical tools for your daily life.
Parents
As a social worker with years of experience in school systems and home-based case management, I provide actionable parenting coaching and crisis support to help busy, bicultural families reduce daily friction. I partner with you to build clear household routines, celebrate your child’s natural strengths, and confidently navigate academic systems such as special education, school enrollment and other supports. I offer a collaborative, culturally welcoming space to bring more peace and confidence to your parenting journey.
Older Adults
I support older adults navigating major life milestones and transitions. Grounded in my research on supportive intergenerational relationships, my practice provides a dedicated space for older LGBTQ+ adults and individuals from diverse backgrounds to process aging, health changes, and identity-related challenges. Whether you are coping with chronic health conditions or seeking community advocacy, I collaborate with you to foster stability, resilience, and meaningful connection.
Diverse Experience
I have extensive experience partnering with individuals from a broad range of backgrounds, including immigrant, LGBTQ+, Latinx, neurodivergent, differently abled, indigenous, urban, and rural communities. My clinical background spans multiple specialized roles, including:
School-Based Social Worker & College Academic Success Coach, Private Practice Tele-Therapist, LGBTQ+ Community Health Center Worker, Special Needs Foster Care Case Manager, Disability & Immigration Social Service Agencies
Beginning therapy requires significant trust, which is why my primary goal is to provide a consistent, safe, and non-judgmental space. The core of our work remains guided entirely by you. I invite you to bring your whole, authentic self into our space, and together, we will work toward the positive transformation you are seeking.
