About

A first session with me tends to surprise people: no clipboard, no rapid-fire questions, just an easygoing conversation about what your days actually look like. Most clients say they feel lighter walking out than they did walking in. I stepped away from clinical work for several years to lead behind the scenes in administration, and coming back confirmed what I had missed: the quiet privilege of sitting with one person at a time. I most often help adults whose exhaustion has outlasted every vacation and every early night. A stubborn low mood is the other pattern I see weekly, the kind that makes a perfectly good life feel like someone else's. My practice is fully bilingual, and sessions can happen in English, in Spanish, or in the mix that feels natural. I am compassionate at my core, which simply means you will be treated like someone worth being patient with. Coming back to the present moment, over and over, becomes the skill that steadies everything else. I hold hope for people until they can hold it themselves. That is not a slogan; it is most of the job. When you are ready for a different kind of conversation, reach out.
