Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT 151429)

I work with individuals who are thoughtful, self-aware, and engaged in their lives - including professionals, creatives, and students - who are seeking a deeper understanding of their internal world and relationships. Many come to me when something no longer feels sustainable, even if, from the outside, things appear to be working. Some come with an open mind.

My work is grounded in careful listening, attunement, and a deep respect for each person’s internal world. I create a space that is steady, thoughtful, and collaborative - where complexity and simplicity can be explored without pressure or judgment. Therapy with me is deeply personal and connected - reflective and depth-oriented. Clients often experience me as calm, grounded, and gently attuned, with a sense of being deeply seen. Our work unfolds at the pace of trust, bringing attention to what lies beneath the surface and supporting meaningful, lasting change. We explore the tension between who you are, who you’ve needed to be, and how you are experienced by others - making space for aspects of yourself that exist beyond roles, expectations, or perception. This includes naming and staying with what is felt, supporting a deeper connection to your emotional and embodied experience while remaining open to anything that arises.

My approach is integrative and intuitively guided, grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy, and informed by evidence-based practices such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we identify and work with the deeper patterns shaping your experience, including relational dynamics, early experiences, and how these continue to live in the present. I approach this work with a clear awareness of relational and intergenerational patterns, supporting change across emotional, relational, and embodied experience. This is a space held with confidentiality, where you do not have to manage how you are seen. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, with a sensitivity to the complexity of identity and lived experience.
