I don't believe healing comes from a technique performed on you from across the room. It comes from a real relationship, one where you can be uncertain or unimpressive, and I show up as a person too. Sessions with me feel like a conversation - a natural back and forth while I weave in evidence-based interventions to support your healing journey.

As a dancer and former competitive figure skater, I intimately understand the interplay between an anxious interior and a perfectly composed appearance. And the fallout from maintaining that for long periods.

I'm a Boston-based, bilingual (Spanish and English) LICSW with 16+ years of experience in trauma-informed care, mental health program development, and higher education.

I learned to treat depression through trauma work, at the Cambridge Health Alliance Victims of Violence Program, led by Dr. Judith Herman. That's why I look at what's underneath when treatment stalls, including in my recent work with people receiving Ketamine and Esketamine for treatment-resistant depression.

My training and clinical work also includes the McLean Hospital OCD Institute and Klarman Center for Eating Disorders, the Brigham and Women's Outpatient Psychiatry Department, and the Cambridge Health Alliance Outpatient Addictions Service, led by Dr. Mark Albanese.

From 2017 to 2018, I developed and taught a mental health program at IES Gabriel García Márquez, a bilingual high school in Madrid, Spain.

Since 2024, I’ve been part-time faculty at the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work and an adjunct instructor at the Simmons University School of Social Work, where I teach core social work courses and mentor MSW students. I'm licensed independently in Massachusetts and Utah, and I'm a clinical supervisor in Massachusetts. I'm also a yoga teacher (RYT-200) and trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator.

I'm the owner and founder of Savoir Collaborative, a trauma-informed therapy and consulting group practice that grew out of the private practice I started in 2018.

Education: MSW, Boston College; B.A., Psychology, UMass Amherst.
