English
| español Struggling under the weight of childhood trauma, persistent mood challenges, or the lingering effects of unhealthy attachments? My practice centers on helping adults uncover how early experiences shape their self-image, relationships, thoughts & emotions. Whether you feel trapped in cycles of self-criticism, uneasy in personal connections, or held back by unresolved wounds, we can work together to soothe those vulnerable parts of you & rebuild a more secure sense of self. Through a collaborative & evidence based approach, I specialize in childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, diversity issues, life transitions, & attachment styles.
I welcome you to come as you are—whether you prefer English or Spanish. We’ll work to understand how harmful patterns developed, & how they can be transformed so you can live life as your most authentic self. Empathetic & warm yet straightforward, I’m here to gently challenge unhelpful perspectives, so we can move toward meaningful change.
I’m committed to creating a therapeutic bond that honors your cultural & personal values, ensuring you feel safe while engaging in deeper self-exploration. Reaching out for help is a significant act of courage & your well-being matters. I’m here to support you every step of the way in fostering deeper confidence, healthier connections, & renewed life purpose
