Major life transitions like new jobs, new relationships, or significant losses, can require more from you than you could ever imagine. Many of us have come to a point where we can benefit from additional professional support. As a first-generation Latinx, I know first-hand the unique strength and resilience it takes to navigate life changes in an ever-evolving world. My years of training and real-life experience in developing resilience have led me to be passionate and committed to helping others find their resilience within.

Everyone experiences some form of incongruence in life. However, when one's life gets disrupted and overwhelmed by conflict, anxiety, trauma, loss, or stress of everyday life, it causes psychological and emotional distress and loss of insight that constrains growth and creativity. Psychotherapy offers a helping relationship that is warm and empathic, where one feels safe and fully received to explore and reflect on incongruences with fresh perspectives and insights. Psychotherapy provides a climate for the individuals to emerge as someone who can fully live and trust one's experience as satisfying in each circumstance.

I specialize in supporting individuals through journeys of life transitions, family building (foster care, adoption, or reproductive medicine), aging, grief/loss, and trauma. I support you as you learn to navigate challenges brought on by significant life events, look for the lessons hiding in such challenges, and find your way back to your heart amidst them. It is always a privilege and honor to walk alongside you as you seek to live life consciously - growing, living, or aging with purpose.

Our creative and determined psyche allows us to “make it through” whatever life throws our way. We develop ideals, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking about the world, ourselves, and others. These things that at one point were meant to be protective and preserve us can overtime unknowingly to us be the very thing that gets in our way preventing us from living the life we ultimately desire. It can manifest itself in ways such as feeling frustrated with ourselves, self hate, feeling stuck, disconnected from our body, or even frozen with anxiety, depression, and maybe suicidal thoughts.

Are you a successful professional, yet find yourself craving personal satisfaction on a daily basis? Are you innovative, imaginative and resourceful, but can't use those gifts to get the life you dream of? Is stress causing you to panic, withdraw, or feel like a fraud? Over time, we all internalize messages we've received throughout our lives, and unconsciously organize our sense of self around that pain. If you find yourself remembering who you "used to be" and wondering "where did I go?", we can work to regain your sense of self while having satisfying personal and professional relationships.

My practice is informed by the interconnectedness of all things, especially the relationship between mind, body, and spirit (or soul), and the interrelationships between beings. I am influenced by Western psychological theories, as well as holistic, ancestral, and indigenous wellness rituals from around the world. I specialize in grief and loss, particularly death and dying, and the emotional and spiritual work surrounding other significant transitions, rites of passage, and life cycles.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.
