I am a bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with adults and couples. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable - and also deeply courageous. I believe therapy is a space where you don't have to pretend or have everything figured out - you get to show up exactly as you are. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique story. I work from a client-centered perspective, meaning I believe that you are the expert on your life. As your therapist, I'll prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and welcoming space for you to explore and work on your goals.
To support you in your journey, I use evidence-based interventions grounded in current research within an integrative approach. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, feeling down, or disconnected from yourself, I am here to help you reconnect with who you are.
Therapy can be a space for self-care where you can take a break and breathe. Let's explore together what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck, and build a more supportive relationship with yourself. When you are ready, I'm here.
