I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and relational approaches tailored to your needs.
I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering therapy for individuals and couples. I specialize in perinatal mental health, trauma, cultural identity, parenting, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating anxiety, birth trauma, or generational wounds, I meet you with compassion and cultural humility. I believe emotional pain is not pathology—it’s a signal that something sacred needs tending to. My work is grounded in a decolonial, relational lens and I practice under licensed clinical supervision.

I draw from psychodynamic, feminist theory, and somatic approaches.
There’s wisdom in the ways we’ve had to be to survive - it’s important to honor that. Yet at some point, we can move beyond survival and into fuller living. I specialize in working with people who want to know their true selves more deeply, and those who want to break cycles (intergenerational or their own). Particularly trans/nonbinary, LGBTQ+, immigrants/children of immigrants, and BIPOC. I also support parents (especially of LGBTQ+ children or who are LGBTQ+ themselves), as well as men who felt “too sensitive” or had to be “strong” and want to explore a masculinity that’s right for them. I work with college/graduate students

I often use cognitive behavioral, solution focused and somatic modalities to help clients to enhance self awareness and get you back in control.
Becoming a parent, going through pregnancy and childbirth or loss will impact your relationships (with others and yourself) in ways you never imagined. And lets not talk about parenting and the incredible difficulty involved with being responsible for other small humans. You will stand in the mirror and the person staring back at you is unfamiliar. You are irritable, tired and on edge all of the time. Your self esteem is low and you are feeling guilt and worry almost all the time. It all seems impossible and no one truly understands. You are not alone. Not alone in the pain. And you don't have to be alone in the healing.

I take a relational, somatic, and liberation-oriented approach in therapy challenging systems of white supremacy, anti-Blackness, settler colonialism, heterosexism, transphobia, classism, ableism, patriarchy, and xenophobia.
You are stuck - in generational cycles, with feelings of immigrant guilt, or in longing for a space for all of you. As a queer BIPOC individual or child of immigrants, you carry the weight of family, culture, and survival while longing to just be. You are tired of code-switching, performing, and generational cycles while shrinking yourself to be understood. Some therapists have said you are "too self-aware", others are culturally nonresponsive, and most do not see you for you. What you really want is to be seen by someone who gets your experiences - a space where you can be with your feelings instead of having to explain them.

I focus on the use of DBT skills and somatic psychology to navigate areas such as substance use, depression, anxiety, and codependency.
First and foremost, I am relational. Very little can happen in therapy if I do not build rapport and connection with you. I can have the most exceptional therapeutic skill set, however if you feel missed, unseen, and unknown, the work cannot begin.
