She also uses evidence-based therapies and skills, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), as well as mindfulness-based and trauma-informed approaches. Her clinical interests include working with clients with substance use disorders, trauma- and/or stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression, insomnia, life transitions, and health-related behaviors. She is licensed as a Psychology Associate in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, and sees adults in the DC office. She is fluent in Spanish and is LGBTQIAA+ affirming. Her research interests include increasing access to evidence-based care for underserved populations.
