You might find yourself overthinking your relationships—wondering where you stand, overanalyzing texts, feeling anxious when communication shifts, or questioning if you’re asking for too much. You may fear losing yourself, or worry that speaking up could push someone away or cost you the connection.
Maybe you notice patterns—choosing emotionally unavailable partners, struggling with boundaries, or feeling torn between closeness and self-protection. Whether you identify with anxious or avoidant attachment patterns, this can feel confusing, exhausting, and so discouraging you may even wonder if you’re cut out for a relationship.

If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of your next step, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally stretched, disconnected, or searching for something more.
Something deep inside you may sense that there’s more to life - more ease, clarity, and purpose - but something keeps getting in the way. Old patterns, invisible barriers, or limiting beliefs can make it hard to move forward, even when you’ve tried therapy, self-help, or mindset work.

Seeking therapy for many can be a challenging step to take. This is why I believe in providing a safe space, free of any judgement, which is essential when building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am here to serve as your guide towards self-discovery and self-reflection. Often, distorted thoughts lead to maladaptive behaviors, which in turn can impact the way you view yourself, perceives others, and/or view the world. Therapy can help with learning new skills and techniques that can assist you with breaking these patterns. Discovering your own voice will help you feel empowered.

You’re talented, driven, and creative, but privately exhausted, anxious, or at war with food and your body. Many of my clients are performers, artists, and high-achieving creatives navigating ADHD, anxiety, career transitions, and eating disorders. I specialize in supporting the creative mind from a HAES and “all foods fit” lens, helping you heal your relationship with food, regulate your nervous system, and build sustainable success without burnout or self-punishment.

I help people who are seeking radical change do deep work. Maybe you feel stuck or frozen. Maybe you're a perfectionist. Perhaps your creativity feels lost or broken. Maybe your relationships don't feel quite right. Maybe the level has gotten so high that you actually don't know what to do anymore. That's ok.

Many people arrive to therapy feeling caught in repeating patterns and disconnected from the relationships they long for. Symptoms of distress are rarely random; they often trace back to protective strategies formed earlier in life. I provide depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals living with the effects of chronic or early stress, CPTSD, sexual trauma, panic and anxiety disorders, and dual diagnosis, with an emphasis on post-traumatic growth. For clients who struggle to verbally articulate their experiences, symbolic and imaginal processes, such as dreamwork and art therapy, may be explored as pathways to self-expression.

In 2025 and beyond, my work ethic continues: Working together, we greet Pain and Suffering and ask "How will you serve my development?" Psychotherapy isn't about finding perfection, but pursuing wholeness and respecting our Self. It's simple. It's complicated. It can be very difficult, and and there are laughter and surprises to be enjoyed. Go for it: tend to your emotional to-do list, relationship overhaul/finesse, deep discovery, gather energy to take your journey to the next level. Mid-life? Starting out on your own? Starting/ending a relationship? Creative and stuck? Uncertain times require what we have— wisdom and creativity.

As a first-gen Xicana, I understand the pressure of carrying expectations while rarely having space for your own needs. I have experience working with first-gen women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns shaped by family and cultural expectations. They often struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, and self-doubt. Many come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves or unsure how to move forward. They are ready to understand how past experiences and generational patterns are impacting their present.

As a Latinx and queer therapist, I bring the intersection of my identities to my work, which informs my cultural responsiveness, humility and commitment to support those who have been disenfranchised and misunderstood.
Welcome!

I am trained to look for patterns and to consider things like the unconscious forces and drives at play that impact triggers and symptoms. Therapy with me can be deep, gently challenging and insightful.

For sixteen years I've been seeing clients (both individuals and couples) and my goal has always been to help them achieve meaningful change, whether in getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep them from living a more fulfilling life. Some challenges I've helped people overcome include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck in a rut, grief, hopelessness, self-esteem issues, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
