Licensed Master Social Worker

My ideal client is seeking work-life balance and wants to improve their confidence and self-esteem. Most of them are just feeling “stuck” and need someone to listen and help them listen to themselves. They’re looking for peace with themselves and ways to understand themselves in the context of the world around them.

My approach is strengths-based and culturally-responsive therapy with a specific interest in communities of color, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergence. I marry lived experience with advanced clinical skill to create a space to comfortably explore their thoughts, feelings, and future.

I grew up in a rural community as one of the only people of color in town. I’m Black and Mexican, and being mixed with two rich and varied cultures has helped me to be curious about and comfortable with the differences in people. No matter who you are, you are welcome with me – and you don’t have to do anything special for me to believe in you and your future.
