Hello, I'm happy to have the opportunity to support you on your journey towards greater emotional well-being. I’ll meet you where you’re at with a compassionate and collaborative approach while working with you to navigate life's challenges to create a safe space for growth and healing. I strive to provide a supportive experience as we focus on your unique history. We will employ evidence-based practices while working to gather an understanding of your past to establish your present and future goals.
As a Mexican-American bilingual therapist, I have personal experiences and insights of bicultural nuances that shape our perceptions based on every day interactions. Warmth and humor are integral to my 10 years of experience, and I tailor evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, among many others, to your unique needs.
Whether you're exploring past experiences or seeking help for something else, my goal is to meet you where you're at and support you every step of the way. Here to walk with you. Let's work together to recognize, affirm, and empower you! I’m looking forward to meeting you.
