The client's abilities, paired with tools and support acquired in therapy, will lead each of my clients to a life they choose to enhance.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are. And I genuinely look forward to connecting with you!

I begin by thoroughly understanding each patient's background, challenges, and goals during the initial session. From there, I collaborate with clients to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. This personalized approach allows me to guide patients through the therapeutic process with clarity and care, ensuring that each step supports lasting emotional well-being.

I am an experienced clinical social worker who has practiced in outpatient settings, providing compassionate and effective care to individuals seeking support for their mental health and well-being. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based clinical practice. My dedication to helping others is reflected in my collaborative approach, emphasizing empathy, respect, and understanding in every therapeutic interaction.

I provide a safe, confidential, HIPAA-compliant space grounded in cultural humility and respect. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, and work or collegiate stress. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and systems-oriented, integrating CBT, EFT, IFS, attachment work, and ABA. I value measurable progress and use tools such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to guide care. I begin with a comprehensive assessment of personal, cultural, and environmental factors, then develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans with clear goals and regular progress reviews. Sessions combine cognitive restructuring with skills training and mind-body techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and paced breathing to reduce anxiety and trauma responses.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-fluent) therapist, LCSW, CCBT, licensed in Texas and Illinois with over 20 years of experience. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and my BA in Human Services from Kendall College, receiving the Distinguished Student Award. I completed intensive Spanish language study in Mexico and Costa Rica. My career spans Alzheimer's care (Distinguished Service Award), Director of Social Services in skilled nursing, discharge coordination at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, police liaison and crisis responder, and community mental health serving diverse and underserved populations.

I value open communication and help clients set clear treatment goals. I foster a collaborative environment using narrative counseling, Internal Family Systems, and "parts work" to help clients re-story their experiences. I also offer EFT Tapping for trauma, anxiety, depression, and pain. I work from the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and promote self-determination through Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Energy Psychology. I begin by understanding what brings clients to therapy and building a strong therapeutic relationship. I tailor Narrative Counseling and EFT sessions to each individual, collaboratively creating personalized treatment plans with achievable, transformational goals. My approach is holistic, supportive, and designed to empower clients to recognize their strengths and motivation for meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Telehealth provider with extensive experience working in non-profits, schools, academic settings, and private practice. I am certified in Trauma-Informed Interventions, Advanced Grief Counseling, Addictions-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Nutrition & Integrative Medicine for trauma. I hold a BA in Humanities from New College of California and a master's in Counseling from the Wright Institute.

I have a particular passion and specialty in working with the LGBTQ population, and I also enjoy helping patients address depression and mood concerns, anxiety disorders, trauma, self-criticism and shame, grief and loss, major life transitions, social discontent, and medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS. I work with adults across the lifespan and strive to create an affirming and inclusive therapeutic environment. My work with each patient is individualized and guided by their needs and collaboratively defined goals. Patients can expect a warm, authentic, and direct therapeutic style. My approach is primarily skills-based, most often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, within a client-centered and attachment-focused relationship. Therapy often explores how perspective, assumptions, and self-narratives contribute to distress, with practical action plans to support growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process aimed at meaningful change and a more fulfilling, values-driven life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience across a wide range of mental health and social service settings, including academic outpatient clinics, community health centers, residential programs, clinical research, the VA, EAP services, and HIV/AIDS service organizations. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Louis University and a Master of Social Work in Clinical Social Work/Mental Health from Washington University in St. Louis.

I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors each person's unique journey. I am passionate about supporting individuals through significant life changes, addressing interpersonal challenges, and helping clients develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. Patients can expect a respectful, collaborative environment where they feel heard, supported, and empowered. I begin by learning each patient's best hopes for therapy while gaining an understanding of their personal history and current concerns. I work collaboratively with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their goals, values, and vision for growth, adjusting the approach as needed over time.

I completed my Doctorate in Psychology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and have specialized training in grief and trauma counseling. I have extensive experience practicing in both outpatient and residential treatment settings. My clinical background allows me to support individuals facing complex emotional challenges with depth, insight, and professionalism.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, teens, couples, and families. I am licensed in 12 states and have worked across diverse clinical settings, delivering both in-person and telehealth care.

I am open, approachable, supportive, caring, and empathetic. I create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe to talk things through at their own pace. I value trust, collaboration, and respect, and believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood.

I begin with a comprehensive assessment that explores personal history, current concerns, and potential solutions. From there, I collaborate with clients to develop individualized treatment goals and a practical plan tailored to their needs, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.
