My therapeutic style reflects a client centered approach and a humanist perspective. My experience is that emotional healing is facilitated most readily within the context of a safe, compassionate, responsive and supportive relationship.

I believe that a healthy Self is intrinsic in each of us and that healthy Self can grow and flourish at any age I have extensive experience assisting clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship, parenting and attachment issues.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands the impact of identity, culture, and systemic oppression on mental health? I offer LGBTQIA2S+, trans, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, burnout, relationships, and life transitions. As a gender fluid first-generation Mexican immigrant, I feel especially connected to working with Latine/x, immigrant, queer, trans, and neurodivergent clients navigating belonging, masking, family dynamics, and systemic stressors in a space grounded in social justice and authenticity.

I enjoy being a psychotherapist because it provides me the opportunity to help people resolve the issues that are causing them distress. I work with adults, children, and families, and understand that each person is a unique individual with his or her unique life circumstances, history, and social and cultural context. A goal of our work together will be to help you identify and understand the conflicts that may be causing you difficulty, and to help you overcome them. Or perhaps negative thinking patterns cause you to experience sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, fear, or other unwanted emotions.

You may long for a space that can lead to deeper understanding and real transformation, not just short-term coping. Therapy can offer a space to listen inward, begin to understand yourself more deeply, and find new ways to respond to challenges.

Reaching out for support can be the first step toward healing. Sometimes, existing support systems and coping tools are enough; at other times, additional support is needed to move forward. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their relationship with food, their body, or anxiety, and want to feel more at ease. They may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and are seeking meaningful, lasting change. I believe each person has an innate capacity for resilience, and my goal is to help you access and strengthen that resilience throughout your healing process.

Many clients come to work with me at a time in their lives when they feel disconnected from themselves, stuck in their relationships, or when they are experiencing a major life transition. During these times, people often believe something is wrong with them and fear that others will judge them if they open up about their true feelings. As a result, many people stay quiet about their pain and feel lonely. Being a therapist has taught me that the struggles we encounter in life are far more common than we realize and your healing can be possible with my support.

There is something profound and beautiful that happens when you begin—or return to—psychotherapy. The choice itself initiates a journey, a new chapter. One where you are surrounded with care and deeply held as you explore the landscapes of your inner world. Here, a declaration is made—a vow to the self, to the heart, to the body. A commitment to seeking deeper understanding with clarity and ease, and an openness to discovering new or old ways of being—ways that feel more aligned with your authentic self, your wholeness, and the essence of who you are. Psychotherapy is a practice of devotion—to yourself and to all that you touch.
