FOUNDER

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an LICSW credential in Massachusetts and Washington, as well as an LCSW in California. With over five years of experience in outpatient therapy and medical social work, I assist individuals in identifying the underlying causes of their challenges, enabling them to progress and cultivate meaningful lives and fulfilling relationships. Clients seek therapy due to their pain; they recognize that certain aspects of their lives are not functioning optimally and are prepared to confront their discomfort, address what they typically avoid, and take proactive steps towards improvement.

I believe that genuine growth occurs when we accept our true selves, trust our instincts, and approach life with curiosity and openness. My objective is to foster a supportive environment where you can reflect on your experiences, build emotional resilience, and harness your unique strengths to live more authentically and freely. I possess significant experience in providing outpatient mental health therapy and working with a diverse range of clients dealing with chronic medical and mental health challenges.

My expertise encompasses complex trauma, domestic violence, relationship difficulties, and grief counseling. I employ an eclectic, person-centered approach in my therapeutic practice, focusing on the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. Furthermore, I am knowledgeable in various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and Traditional Talk Therapy. If you are ready to invest in your personal growth, healing and relationships, I look forward to working with you.

In addition to being a therapist, I enjoy traveling, hiking and going to the beach. I am lifetime learner committed to continued growth.

Clinician

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than a decade of experience in delivering outpatient mental health therapy. I am fluent in both Spanish and English and has significant expertise in providing in-home therapy and behavioral modifications for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. My approach involves assisting individuals in identifying the underlying causes of their challenges, enabling them to progress and cultivate meaningful lives and fulfilling relationships. Clients seek therapy due to their pain; they recognize that certain aspects of their lives are not functioning optimally and are prepared to confront their discomfort, address what they typically avoid, and take proactive steps towards improvement.

Whether dealing with distressing depression, crippling anxiety, emotional barriers to intimacy, or other detrimental relationship patterns, we will collaborate to identify the root causes, confront painful emotions, and heal past wounds that hinder progress and contribute to suffering. Throughout this journey, we will focus on enhancing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the capacity for deeper connections with oneself and others.

I have provided psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children facing a range of issues, including PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural/sexual identity challenges. During this period, I have specialized in assisting individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders and substance use/addiction.

I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, running and playing soccer.
