My strengths-based approach to therapy aims to guide you in recognizing how your patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions impact your relationship with yourself and others. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, which can be curative in and of itself. To make this possible, it is important that I be my most genuine self to have an authentic experience while in session with my clients and I welcome you to join me in that legitimacy. Together we can identify, understand, and process what may be interfering with your overall wellness, stability, and quality of life. As a member of the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities, I welcome and am dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for all. In addition, I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). Based on your needs, I can assist with navigating either an abstinence-based approach to recovery or working with moderation.
