Cultivating Change with Expert Guidance
There’s no single way to heal, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. My approach to therapy combines CBT, mindfulness, and DBT techniques, while taking the time to understand your experiences, your challenges, and what you hope to change.
Together, we can explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting your everyday life and find practical tools that work for you. Whether you're learning to manage difficult emotions, working through challenges, or simply seeking a better understanding of yourself, our work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and genuine support.
You don’t have to rush the process or figure everything out on your own. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up as you are, build greater self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and true to you.
My Mission
Every person deserves compassionate, ethical, and high-quality mental health support. Through Mindful Beginnings, I work to reduce stigma, strengthen community partnerships, and expand behavioral health services. My commitment is to serve with purpose, lead with compassion, and support healing, resilience, and lasting change.
Commitment to Underserved & Vulnerable Populations
I am committed to expanding access to quality mental health care for people who face trauma, socioeconomic challenges, cultural barriers, or limited resources. My experience includes serving as a contracted therapist with the Orange County Department of Mental Health in New York. As a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking clinician, I provide culturally responsive care where every client feels heard, respected, and empowered.
Serving Those Who Serve:
Veterans, Military Families & Underserved Communities
As an LMHC, LPC, and military service member, I bring clinical expertise and firsthand understanding of military culture. My Army National Guard and Air National Guard experience informs my work with veterans, active-duty service members, and military families facing transition, trauma, stress, identity changes, and relationship challenges. I use trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and strengths-based support for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and adjustment concerns.
