I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing individual therapy to teens and adults, with a special focus on the Latinx and LGBTQIA+ communities. I create a supportive and affirming space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued, especially if traditional therapy hasn’t felt like the right fit. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma using a neurodivergent-affirming and culturally responsive approach. I believe differences are strengths, not deficits. Together, we will explore your unique experiences and build on your strengths to support your healing and growth.
I have a strong background in supporting individuals from diverse and underserved communities, including members of the Latinx and LGBTQIA+ communities, addressing the unique challenges they face. Additionally, I specialize in working with neurodivergent teens and adults, offering an inclusive and affirming approach that values their experiences.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward positive change, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we will work to enhance your well-being and achieve your therapeutic goals. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.

In our sessions, I use evidence-based therapies like CBT, REBT, and ACT in a flexible way that fits how your mind works. CBT helps you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns, REBT supports changing beliefs that may be holding you back, and ACT helps you make space for difficult emotions while focusing on what matters most to you. Each session is tailored to your needs and unique style.
