About Me

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and individualized. I believe healing involves the whole person—mind, body, emotions, relationships, culture, and, when desired, faith. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and use it to help clients process painful or distressing experiences, reduce emotional intensity, and strengthen more adaptive beliefs about themselves. I also offer EMDR intensives for clients who prefer longer, focused sessions in addition to traditional 60-minute sessions.

In addition to EMDR, I draw from Somatic Experiencing® as I work toward certification, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and attachment informed care. I tailor treatment to each client’s goals, needs, and readiness rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. With immersion education and more than seven years of experience providing care primarily in Spanish-speaking settings, I am attentive not only to language but also to the cultural nuances within the diverse Hispanic community.

For clients who are interested, I also incorporate Christian counseling to explore emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns within the context of faith. This is always client-led and integrated only when it feels meaningful and supportive to the person seeking care.

Outside of my work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and paper scrapbooking. I’m always drawn to adventure and hope to hike in every U.S. National Park someday.
