Introduction

Welcome to my practice. I am a trauma-informed therapist working with teens and adults. I practice using an approach centered in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which typically combines individual therapy, group skills class, and phone coaching. I hold the perspective that therapeutic connection provides the healing power to approach some of life's biggest challenges. Adapting to change and loss is also a challenging part of life, and I use my experience in grief work to help clients struggling with life transitions and losses. strongly believe in being a neurodiversity affirming therapist, and constantly seek to educate myself on how to best support my clients who are neurodivergent. I have personal and professional experience serving the LGBTQ* community. I have a strong foundation in culturally responsive counseling, and approach my work with humility and empathy. I attend regular consultation groups and educate myself on serving a diverse population as a white therapist. I speak Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese and have experience working with immigrant adults and families as an immigration advocate and early start provider. I am able to provide mental health evaluations to support immigration cases, with years of experience.
