Nice to meet you
I believe meaningful change happens through small adjustments over time, and my goal is to make therapy as comfortable as possible. I’m committed to providing strengths-based, compassionate care that helps people become more self-directed in managing their emotions, develop healthier ways of thinking and recognize their resilience by seeing that they have the power to learn new skills to improve their lives. If you’re looking to settle inner turmoil, set healthy boundaries with confidence or build more stable, satisfying relationships, let's connect!

Interests
I love cooking, finding new foods to try, traveling, and live music. I regularly take long walks and practice yoga for my physical and mental well-being, as I find it helpful for my own nervous system regulation. I would also like to get back into playing guitar, improving my conversational Spanish, and writing.
