Hi! Hola! Do you feel like you constantly have to "perform" strength, carrying your pain quietly just to stay functional? If you are exhausted from pushing through life’s heavy transitions, masking your struggles, or navigating deep emotional pain, you don't have to do it alone. When you step into a session with me, the pressure stops. Our sessions feel warm, open, and non-judgmental. Your session is a collaborative space where you can finally slow down and breathe. Here, your unique cultural background is respected and honoured. You are met with a trusted anchor for your vulnerability, allowing you to be deeply and safely seen.
I work entirely at your pace, bringing a deeply culturally informed lens to our therapy. Because of my 13 years of mental health advocacy, I don't flinch at heavy emotions or systemic struggles. I offer a grounded, inclusive presence where you can express yourself fully. I am honoured to offer sessions in both English and Spanish / Sesiones en español.
As a result of our work, you will gain a deeper connection to yourself, healthier relationships, and the freedom to live authentically. If faith is important to you, I can also seamlessly integrate Christian faith-based counselling. Don't carry this weight alone. Reach out today for a consultation, and let's build a life that feels authentic to you.

I will use CBT and DBT to manage stress, while EFT and Attachment Therapy help heal your relationships. I'm completing EMDR training to offer deeper trauma support.
