As a Cognitive Behavioral Psychologist, I utilize empirically supported treatments, humor, genuineness and empathy to treat a variety of problems including: panic disorder, social anxiety, OCD, BFRBs, PTSD, generalized anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, and ADHD. I also work with those who are dealing with sexual orientation/identity issues and relationship (work, family, romantic) concerns. We will work collaboratively to move you towards your goals and to help you improve your relationships with others and yourself, so that you can live a more satisfying life. Come as you are, and leave as you are at your best.

The journey inward is scary. Exploring our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is vulnerable. Folks worry that they're "broken" or "damaged." But what if you don't need to be fixed? What if your challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are meeting your needs in some way? Serving a purpose? Keeping you safe. My job is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore your patterns. To help foster appreciation for those strengths. And to help build resources to make the changes you'd like. To guide you on that journey and to provide you with company along the way.

In every individual's life, the therapeutic journey can often resemble navigating a maze. Along this winding path, we may at times feel adrift, but it is within these very moments of vulnerability that we discover the potency of authenticity, affirmation, and connection. When we embrace the tapestry of our differences, we unveil the resilience that diversity brings. It is from this understanding that I've dedicated my practice to serving the often marginalized – be it the Latino community, the LGBT spectrum, or those embarking on non-traditional relationships.

With a background in community organizing, my passion lies in being able to offer mental health resources and services for all, prioritizing support for trauma recovery and the LGBTQ+ community. I welcome clients who desire a safe, supportive space to freely express themselves and are motivated to develop coping tools and relationships while working on exploring each life domain. Ideally we will work through difficult traumas together, cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and a sense of purpose, ultimately leading to a fulfilling healing journey toward positive mental health.

I am deeply committed to helping my clients find balance and achieve positive change. In my work, I use both talking and movement as therapeutic tools to explore the underlying patterns impacting your relationships, inner process, and life experiences. I use a holistic approach, integrating body and mind in the healing process. My goal is to guide you towards a life that you create, want, and deserve. The therapeutic process is not always an easy road, and I provide a safe space to explore stuck points, areas of growth, and identify options for cultivating change. It is my privilege to be able to witness my clients' journeys.

I utilize values-based approaches to help my clients live their most fulfilling life. With a particular focus on ACT, DBT, and ERP (when relevant to treatment), I work to help individuals move toward their desires and goals confidently.

I believe in the power of personal narratives and in allowing each individual to tell their story free of judgment, shame, or guilt.

Life is BUSY. No matter your role or roles, our world can be messy and we can all use another resource. As a mom of 4 myself, I get it.

I am here to listen, to collaboratively work through your emotions, to problem solve and finally, to help you feel whole.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in assisting adults, adolescents, couples and families with life, work and relationship issues.
While the decision to enter therapy occurs at a difficult time, once you realize that most issues are simpler than they first appear, the experience can be transformative.

I enjoy helping clients identify their unique strengths and gifts and develop the skills to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Are you having difficulty with personal and/or professional relationships? Maybe you've achieved a great deal professionally or financially but are still dissatisfied with your life? Are you struggling with identity issues? Do you find yourself feeling emotional for no reason? Unsure about the path your life has taken? Perhaps you are struggling with parenting issues and not feeling up to the task. I have helped many clients overcome the above and other issues over the years.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Jung). As a bilingual (Spanish/English) and bi-cultural Jungian Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help people to consciously reconnect with their inner life in order to heal themselves. While damage to such connection usually creates a variety of psychological difficulties, reverence to the inner wisdom is a contemplative stance of active listening to the interior music that heals and that connect us with the immensity of our inner life. The inner life has an intelligence that corrects and compensates the psychological imbalances that have created emotional challenges.

There are moments in life when you realize something isn’t working anymore, but you don’t yet know what comes next. For many people in young adulthood, this can show up as anxiety, depression, grief, identity questions, body image concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, or feeling lost during a life transition. If this resonates, therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing.

I work with individuals and couples who are curious about themselves, their relationships, or their sexuality and want to feel more connected to all three.

I understand that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in a positive therapeutic experience, and as such, I believe that psychotherapy is just as much of a place to laugh and celebrate joys as it is a place to grieve and manage disappointments. I value taking a collaborative, non-hierarchical approach to therapy, drawing from a feminist and social justice lens.
