Are you worried about your or your teen’s anxiety, stress, or self-esteem? I help adolescents as well as adults manage depression, anxiety, stress, and identity struggles so they can feel more confident and balanced. I also support adults navigating life transitions, relationships, and career stress.
As a bilingual Latina psychologist, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. It’s especially important to me to serve my community and provide a safe, culturally sensitive space for Spanish-speaking families.
In our work together, we’ll focus on practical tools to reduce stress, improve coping skills, strengthen relationships, and build self-confidence. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing— always tailored to your unique needs.
I believe therapy should feel supportive and collaborative. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you or your teen can begin to feel relief and make meaningful changes. I offer a free 15 minutes consultation so you can ask questions and see if we are a good fit.
