A psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working with children, teenagers, and adults.

My journey into psychology began when I was 20 years old, doing social work at an orphanage in Cameroon. That moment made me decide to become a psychologist.

My early years of practice were spent working with NGOs supporting children and teenagers at social risk. Since then, I have worked both in institutions and in private practice, always with the same goal: to create a safe place — a place of hope, connection, and transformation.

I was born in the United States, grew up in Costa Rica, and spent 9 years living as an expat in Panama and Sweden. That experience of navigating life between cultures gave me a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with living abroad — identity, belonging, adaptation, and loneliness. I now live and work in San José, Costa Rica, and I have a special connection with expats and those who know what it feels like to live between worlds.

I work with children, teenagers, and adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, burnout, personal growth, life transitions, and family & parenting challenges — always creating a safe and compassionate space for healing and growth.

As a mother of two, I also bring a personal understanding of the joys and challenges of family life.

I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.
