I use a client-centered and solution focused approach to counseling, based on a cognitive-behavioral model of emotions and behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral means that we will examine how your thoughts and beliefs affect your feelings and actions. Research shows that CBT is the best available drug-free approach for most psychological problems. It is my belief that everyone can benefit from examining how their thoughts affect how they feel about themselves and the world around them.

My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices.
Anxiety, depression, and PTSD can quietly shape how you relate to yourself and others, often leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure how to move forward. As a first-generation Latina, I’ve always felt a strong pull to give back to my community and support meaningful change in people’s lives. I earned my MSW from Cal State LA in 2018, and I’m inspired by the strength and courage I witness as individuals navigate their mental health journeys. Care focuses on helping you deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and respond to challenges with greater clarity and compassion.

I emphasize the examination of feelings and thoughts by addressing stuck patterns and engaging in collaborative exploration with clients to facilitate behavioral changes. Additionally, I believe in the individual's capacity for change and trust that they possess answers within themselves.

I'm EMDR certified and use elements of cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, dialectical behavioral, and client empowerment therapies.
We all have times in life where we feel stuck and the way we've always done things isn't working for us anymore. Sometimes those stuck points look like feeling irritated, numb, scared, sad, or not able to turn off our thoughts. I create a supportive space to explore what’s working, and what's not working, in my clients' lives. Sessions feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

My focus is on helping couples rebuild trust, communicate openly, and reconnect after periods of disconnection or conflict. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and the lingering impact of relational trauma. I especially enjoy working with couples in non-traditional relationships—whether that means open relationships, queer partnerships, or those redefining what connection looks like. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a grounded approach to helping people feel seen and supported in their relationships—with others and themselves.
