You don’t have to keep feeling stuck in the same patterns. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening and find tools that actually work for you.

When anxiety keeps you bracing for what might go wrong, ADHD makes everyday life feel harder than it “should,” or OCD traps you in exhausting loops, it can be difficult to imagine feeling truly at ease. You may understand some of your patterns but still feel unsure how to change them—or you may simply know that you’re tired of struggling alone.

I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, speak openly, and explore what is happening beneath the surface without fear of judgment. I see you as more than a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. Rather than focusing only on what feels wrong, I will help you recognize your strengths, understand the experiences that have shaped you, and identify the deeper issues contributing to your distress.

My style is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strength-based approaches, and brain-health principles to help you better understand the connections among your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical well-being. We may work on interrupting anxious or obsessive thought patterns, creating strategies that support your ADHD brain, strengthening emotional awareness, and developing coping tools that feel realistic enough to use in your everyday life.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and involved in the process. I welcome feedback, adapt my approach as your needs evolve, and work alongside you to create meaningful and achievable goals. My hope is that therapy will not only help you feel better in the moment, but also give you greater clarity, confidence, and resilience long after our work together ends.

As a Latina therapist with experience supporting people from a wide variety of backgrounds, I bring cultural sensitivity, curiosity, and respect into the therapy room. Your identity and lived experiences matter, and I will never assume that one approach works for everyone. Mental health advocacy is also deeply important to me. I believe everyone deserves compassionate support and the freedom to talk openly about mental health without shame.

On a personal note…

One of my favorite reminders is, “Healing is not linear.” I appreciate its honesty because meaningful growth rarely happens in a perfectly straight line. There may be breakthroughs, difficult weeks, unexpected emotions, and moments when progress is hard to recognize. I will help you approach those moments with patience and self-compassion, remembering that even small steps can be part of significant change.

Outside the therapy room, I love spending time outdoors. Hiking, gardening, swimming, or simply taking a walk in nature helps me recharge and reconnect with myself. I bring that same flexible view of self-care into my work by helping clients discover what genuinely restores them—not prescribing another list of things they are “supposed” to do.

I’m also a Korean barbecue enthusiast and a member of a Ukrainian Pysanky art club, where I enjoy the beautiful and intricate tradition of decorating eggs. And if you ever notice that my books are arranged by color, that is entirely intentional—organizing them that way brings me joy and helps me find exactly what I need.

Above all, I bring warmth, empathy, active listening, and genuine presence to every session. I want you to leave therapy feeling more deeply understood—not only by me, but also by yourself.
