Hi! If you are looking into therapy with a goal of feeling better, I am here to support you with that goal. I am a bilingual Latina therapist specializing in providing multicultural and trauma-informed care. Each of my sessions is tailored to you, taking into account your unique identities, history, and goals. Whether you are feeling alone, overwhelmed, facing challenges in this period of your life, or need another support in your circle, I am here to stand with you as we cultivate healing and joy.
I bring empathy and laughter into my sessions and am committed to providing inclusive and affirming therapy to traditionally underserved clients, including those with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identities. I am here as a facilitator to support you in managing the challenges that exist in your world and still feeling like your best self.
I know that taking the first steps to finding a therapist, whether it is your first time or not, can be challenging and commend you on carving out time and space for yourself. I am happy to take the time to answer any questions or address any concerns before taking any next steps. Feel free to reach out, and I truly look forward to getting to know you.
