Supervised By: Beatriz Alaniz, LCSW-S

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but taking this first step is an act of courage. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone - I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore solutions.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I approach therapy from a systems theory perspective, recognizing that our relationships, environments, and past experiences shape us in profound ways. Some experiences lift us up, while others weigh us down. My work focuses on understanding how unresolved trauma, generational patterns, and systemic barriers impact our emotional and behavioral health.

I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, along with a Bachelor of Arts from Gettysburg College. For me, social work and spirituality are deeply connected, influencing both my approach and my identity. As a woman of color, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and someone with a multicultural background, I understand firsthand how identity, culture, and systemic challenges shape our experiences. These perspectives are central to my work, fostering an inclusive and affirming space for all clients.

Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my three dogs, binge watching a good show, going for a ride with my spouse, or cooking a homemade meal.
