We all go through seasons of suffering, struggle, or chaos. As a Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy, it is an honor to walk alongside others, to bear witness to their pain, and to rejoice with every breakthrough. 

I am passionate about understanding my clients through the lenses of their unique life experiences, values, and beliefs. I also strive to remain rooted in biblical truths while providing evidence based treatment. I view people through the context of their relationships and social environments in a systems-based approach. As someone who comes from a multicultural background, I am bi-literate and bilingual and am excited to be able to serve the Spanish-speaking community in Virginia. 

I have supported individuals and couples across the lifespan through challenges such as trauma, grief, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational difficulties. For marital couples, I incorporate interventions from the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy. For individuals, I often use an integrative approach, drawing from modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) depending on the needs of my client. I also have a passion for incorporating creative interventions such as visual art, music, and writing activities to help my clients process emotions, reduce stress, and facilitate healing. My goal is to be present with each person I counsel so that they feel understood and valued.
