All about me

I’m not your average therapist—because this isn’t my first career, and I didn’t take a traditional path to get here. I bring a lifetime of lived experience, hard-won wisdom, and scientific training to the work I do today.

I was raised in Texas by immigrant parents and spent many years navigating life on my own terms—as a single mother, a bioscience researcher, a businesswoman, and eventually a founder of my own firm. Before becoming a therapist, I worked over a decade in biomedical labs with a few product successes I’m proud of, followed by roles at two Fortune 500 companies.

But my early years weren’t easy. I struggled—deeply—with everything from food and alcohol to burnout and self-worth. I coped the best I could, sometimes in healthy ways, often not. What changed everything was finding a therapist who truly listened. She helped me feel seen, and slowly, I found my way back to myself.

That experience led me to pursue a master’s degree in psychology and become a licensed therapist. Today, I support others the way I was once supported—through deep listening, grounded strategies, and compassionate care that’s rooted in both science and soul.

I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. I use evidence-based tools like psychodynamic therapy, hypnosis, somatic integration, and ketamine-assisted support to help people reconnect to themselves and move toward real transformation.
