Welcome to my therapeutic practice. Engaging in therapy is a deeply personal journey, and finding a therapist with whom you can connect and grow is essential. I believe that therapy is a unique experience for each individual, shaped by their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs. However, it's crucial to understand that real change can only happen if the client is willing to work towards it. A therapist is not a magician who can make everything happen without the client's active participation and commitment to the process. In my six years as a licensed therapist in Washington, I've come to understand the profound impact that therapy can have on one's life. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I offer bilingual services to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for all clients. Therapy has evolved from traditional models to a more person-centered approach, where the focus is on building a collaborative and trusting relationship between therapist and client. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely. Creative expression is a powerful tool in therapy, allowing for the exploration of unspoken feelings often associated with shame. Through active listening and compassionate support, I aim to help you navigate difficult topics with courage and resilience. Setting boundaries and taking responsibility for oneself are essential aspects of good mental health. My role as a therapist is to empower you to take ownership of your journey and make positive changes that align with your values and goals. It's also important to recognize that therapists come with various styles and approaches. Some may focus on cognitive-behavioral techniques, while others might use humanistic, psychodynamic, or integrative methods. Finding a therapist whose approach resonates with you is key to a successful therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to equip you with the skills and insight needed to navigate life's challenges independently. I believe that social media often leads us to seek external guidance when the answers lie within ourselves. It's important to prioritize self-care and recognize the value of investing in your mental health. Opting into a therapeutic relationship can be life-changing, not only for yourself but also for those around you. I am committed to accompanying you on your transformative journey towards positive change and personal empowerment. I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you discover your inner strength and resilience, and I'm here to provide guidance, compassion, and encouragement every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Portland, Oregon since 2012. I work with individuals on a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, gender and sexuality, life transitions, stress management, and relationship matters. I use empathy, compassion, and openness to help my client's feel comfortable and confident in their decision to address difficulties in their lives and create fulfilling paths for the future. I believe that counseling is most effective when the client and therapist work together to identify strengths and areas of opportunity in an effort to create a richer life experience for the client. I believe that it is important to use treatments and techniques that have been carefully researched and found effective, so I take an evidence-based approach to therapy. I have in-depth training in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and experience using mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I pull from each of these domains to create a therapy experience that is tailored to the needs of each individual I work with. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from Arizona State University and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University. I have specialized training in working with LGBTQ individuals and in trauma-informed care. I have varied experience including work with youth and adults, mandated clients, community mental health, and private practice. I look forward to working with you!
