I believe life experiences sometimes put us in a place where we need help to guide us through different aspects of our lives. Pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one; navigating the often troublesome path of childhood and adolescence; interpersonal difficulties between couples; fears, anger management and family dynamics are areas I specialize in treating in a warm, safe and comfortable environment. Also, I feel that early issues, loses and experiences help to define how a person makes choices in their lives as they mature. As a therapist, I want to help my clients discover ways to make their life more rewarding.

I’m a licensed psychologist in California and provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural gives me a deep appreciation for how culture, family, and personal history shape our experiences and the ways we handle life’s challenges. I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults who may be feeling anxious, low in mood, or uncertain about themselves. In our sessions, we’ll take time to slow down, explore what’s been weighing on you, and find realistic ways to ease stress, quiet worries, and strengthen your sense of confidence and balance.
