You're the one others trust to get things done, yet beneath your accomplishments lies constant pressure to perform. You obsess over details, replay conversations, and worry that one mistake will expose you as inadequate. No matter how much you achieve, it rarely feels like enough. You want confidence that doesn't depend on flawless execution, room to rest without guilt, to stop second-guessing yourself, and to finally believe you are worthy of the life you've built.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.

I specialize in trauma, life transitions, and racial identity issues.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma—whether from a specific event, difficult relationships, or years of navigating chronic stress. I’m a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who values creating a space where clients feel understood and supported. This often shows up as anxiety, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. It can feel even more complicated during life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or navigating identity, especially for BIPOC clients who may also be managing the effects of systemic and generational trauma.
