Many of the clients that I have worked with during the past 27 years have faced stressful life events that have triggered anxiety, depression, and anger. Frequently, these feelings have begun to significantly interfere with relationships, work, and overall sense of self. I provide a safe and respectful relationship that promotes courage and strength to confront and work through these difficult feelings and experiences. By talking with a caring and trained professional, my clients are able to develop new perspectives about themselves and their concerns and this allows them to approach life with increased hope and enjoyment.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally overwhelmed often anxious, depressed, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma but is ready for change. They value privacy and seek discreet, one-on-one therapy where they can be truly themselves without fear of judgment.
They long for an authentic, trusting relationship with a therapist who meets them with compassion and honesty. Their goals often include managing emotions, building confidence, setting boundaries, and creating deeper, more fulfilling connections.

As a therapist and storyteller, I strongly believe that we are all the experts of our own stories. That being said, systems of power, privilege, and oppression, intersecting identities, cultural values, relationships, and the pressure of social norms can greatly affect the way in which we move through the world as well as the stories we tell ourselves. My goal is support you in creating a safe and compassionate space for to explore your experiences and determine which stories are authentically yours and which you’re ready to reauthor.

I genuinely believe that the therapeutic space is a sacred, collaborative place where clients and I work together to explore experiences, emotions, internal beliefs, behaviors, and relational patterns. I work with kids, teens, and families navigating the impact of trauma, big emotions, or behaviors that feel overwhelming. Parents often want to better understand and support their child while also feeling more connected themselves. I also support adults who are healing from their own histories and working to strengthen relationships. Together, we focus on building safety, trust, and connection so clients feel understood and supported.

In the midst of life’s demands, you may feel exhausted from always prioritizing others—tiptoeing around their feelings while neglecting your own. Perhaps you grew up quickly, caring for others long before you had the chance to care for yourself. Now, you might be reaching your limit, realizing that things can’t continue this way. Constantly putting others first can leave you feeling drained, overburdened, or unappreciated. But you don’t have to navigate this alone.
As a first-generation Latina, I understand the unique challenges of balancing two cultures, meeting family expectations, and finding your own identity in the process.

I help people wishing to improve the quality of their lives by focusing on their interpersonal needs and how they gratify or frustrate their most important priorities.

We all experience moments where our emotions may feel overwhelming, managing stress becomes more challenging, and we may even find ourselves feeling stuck as to what comes next. Throughout my work with adults, teens, and children, I have seen how psychotherapy has improved their moods, relationships, and self-confidence, leaving them feeling more connected and satisfied in their daily lives. Therapy is a space where you can begin to explore yourself, while doing so within a relationship that is validating, supportive, and centers your goals and needs.

Grief, loss, and change challenge us to renegotiate – in our bodies, in our thoughts – earlier and similar transformations in our lives, stirring up difficult emotions, thoughts, images, and bodily experiences. In our work together, I will attend with integrity to whatever expressions of body, mind, and heart that arise. In this work that requires patience of us both, I will help you to discover and connect the elements of your own unconscious, history, desires, associations, leading to a genuine – even transformative – development of your own psychological, spiritual, and embodied personal narrative.

I offer hourly sessions, extended sessions for EMDR and am fluent in Spanish.

At the heart of my perspective is the idea that as a therapist I have a special kind of role and potential for influence on people's lives. At the same time, I am participating as a fellow human being with an array of emotions and personal tendencies not unlike those of the people who come to me for help. And indeed, as is common of people in the field, and even as is required in formal analytic training, I’ve been a patient myself (hopefully yielding enhanced self-awareness). So I know what it’s like from both sides.

When we experience trauma, loss, systemic oppression, and major life transitions, these experiences can profoundly impact our mental, emotional, and physical well-being—making distress feel overwhelming and difficult to escape. I support individuals in healing from trauma and chronic stress by creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, curiosity, consent, and attunement. My goal is to help you build greater nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of agency.

It is okay to feel chaotic or stuck in oneself, relationships, or family systems. Therapy with me is collaborative; nurturing a space that feels brave, nonjudgmental, and warm for each of you. My clinical belief is that in therapy, we may go through emotional challenges, which may come with pain and sorrow, alongside realization and compassion. To experience the healing we seek, we want to make rooms for emotions, thoughts, and experiences that are uncomfortable and hurtful. I know it takes a lot of courage to do so, and I would love to go on this journey with you.
