As a Spanish-speaking psychologist, I have been able to treat patients from different cultures.
I work with individuals who have experienced traumatic events which they may need help overcoming. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I treated active military diagnosed with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse by conducting both individual and group therapy. Working with active military, I learned how to gain the individual's trust and confidence to let me into their lives, providing a nonjudgmental space to process life's events. My research has concentrated on men's issues. My doctoral dissertation focused on professional boxers and how they adjusted to retirement once the fame and fortune was gone.

Something in your life or relationships isn’t working the way you want it to and even though you want connection, it doesn’t always feel easy to trust, open up, or feel safe. You might find yourself overthinking interactions, second-guessing yourself, or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling anxious, distant, or alone. I work with clients who feel caught in these cycles and want to find strategies not just manage the surface. These patterns can feel exhausting, but they’re not random. They often come from deeper experiences your nervous system has been holding onto for a long time. You don’t have to keep doing this on your own.

Since my undergraduate studies, I have developed a passion for social justice. I wanted to work with people individually to help dismantle social constructs that limit their ability to live fulfilling lives. I am driven by connecting with clients and helping them unlearn unhelpful personal schemas. I have robust experience with adults in treating anxiety and depression. I have substantial experience working alongside the Latinx community, and I am excited to work with an array of diverse populations.

As a bilingual (English and Spanish) provider, I pride myself on the power of connection through compassion and authenticity.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful act of self-care. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, you don’t have to face it alone.

Navigating life’s most challenging moments can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. But with the proper support, it’s possible to feel empowered and regain a sense of direction. Whether you’re experiencing relationship difficulties, managing a mental health condition, coping with the loss of a loved one, or facing other personal struggles, know that healing is possible. In my practice, I draw on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients make meaningful changes and work toward their therapy goals in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.
