I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) working toward my LCSW licensure. I earned my Master of Social Work degree in 2024 from CSU-Pueblo, and I have over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across residential treatment, therapeutic mentoring, and higher education. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, relational, and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based interventions such as CBT, DBT-informed skills, solution-focused therapy, and Gottman’s Emotion Coaching, along with creative and reflective approaches to meet each client’s unique needs.

Many of the struggles we face are not signs that something is wrong with us, but signals that there are experiences that deserve understanding. I see you as a whole person whose strengths, struggles, identity, and relationships can be approached with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My role is to work alongside you as we explore the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences that may be contributing to current challenges.

In sessions, we will look for patterns, build on strengths, and develop practical tools that support growth and healing at a pace that feels supportive. You can expect a thoughtful, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you are encouraged to reflect, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. My hope is that therapy helps you not only feel better but also move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, contributing to creative community projects, watching anime, and enjoying musical theater. I have also contributed to two levee murals in Pueblo, which reflects my appreciation for creativity, community, and connection.
