I am a bilingual master’s-level counselor working toward licensure and currently accepting new clients. I support individuals, couples, and teens through both challenging and transformative seasons of life. I believe that whether you’re facing grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or other mental health concerns, growth and healing are always possible. My approach focuses on creating a warm, safe, and supportive space where you can explore your story at your own pace.
Having personally experienced Latino cultural identity, I understand the unique challenges and strengths it brings—such as bicultural pressures, generational differences, and mental health stigma. I’m committed to providing culturally sensitive care that honors your background and supports your growth.
My approach integrates Christian/biblical counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems theory, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to your needs. Seeking help takes courage, and finding the right therapist matters. I encourage you to reach out and connect with me.
