Life’s challenges can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed — whether it’s trauma, loss, addiction, or major transitions that disrupt your sense of stability. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, I help individuals and families navigate these difficult moments with clarity, compassion, and practical support.
With over ten years of experience in trauma treatment, addiction recovery, co-occurring disorders, and family systems work, I provide support that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based approaches like Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I’ve supported clients in outpatient, residential, and community settings, always with the belief that healing happens when people feel safe and understood.
As a bilingual therapist, I offer culturally sensitive care to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Whether you’re working through emotional pain, rebuilding in recovery, or trying to strengthen relationships, my role is to help you move forward with confidence, resilience, and renewed hope.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’m here to help.
