I am a passionate and skilled Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling, and I have been licensed since 2011. With over a decade of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and the diverse ways it can manifest in individuals of all ages. I have worked extensively with children, adults, and families in various mental health settings, providing support and guidance to those navigating life’s challenges. As a bilingual counselor fluent in both English and Spanish, I am able to bridge cultural and language barriers, making my services accessible to a wider range of clients. I take pride in offering a safe, inclusive environment where clients can feel heard and understood, regardless of their background. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from a wide range of evidence-based modalities to meet the unique needs of my clients. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Sand Tray, Art Activities, Talk Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mindfulness practices to help individuals process emotions, manage stress, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. In addition to one-on-one therapy, I have a rich background in group work, having facilitated therapeutic groups in diverse settings, including a men’s prison, women’s domestic violence groups, and teen groups. Outside of my professional life, I am a fitness enthusiast who believes in the integral connection between mental and physical well-being. I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and view exercise as vital to maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. My belief in the power of a strong support network and physical activity to enhance mental health drives my approach to counseling. My commitment to my clients is rooted in my desire to give back to the community. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of those I work with and believe that every client can take something valuable from my services. Whether through individual therapy, group work, or community involvement, I am devoted to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I look forward to continuing to serve my community and empowering others to live fuller, healthier lives.
