We can all benefit from someone to help us navigate the expected and unexpected events life brings us as we transition from one life stage to the next or the challenges involved in moving to a new place. I will help you negotiate those transitions and moves, including the stress and emotional turmoil they may bring. If you are an individual or a couple finding transitioning into a new life stage, a new career or a new living arrangement stressful or confusing, I am here to walk with you down the path of negotiating these changes and processes.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients create a safe space where they can work on aspects of their life which they may be unhappy with. I have experience working with individuals with a wide-range of experiences from domestic abuse to bullying, and helping clients find their voice throughout those struggles, as well as the treatment of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and OCD. I take clients of all ages but I specialize in working with young adults and adolescents with eating disorders and trauma.

I do my best work with highly sensitive women who are looking to invite more clarity, calm, joy, and ease into their lives. My clients are often wanting to sort through deep questions and reconnect with their inner wisdom. Our work together helps them look inside and make sense of what feels like a tangled mess of emotions. Using feelings as feedback, we hold space for intense emotions and explore painful wounds, maladaptive behaviors, and limiting beliefs inflicted by those wounds.

I work with clients who are navigating discovering who they are as a person; who struggle with being heard or expressing themselves in interpersonal relationships; who have had difficult experiences that may make them feel overwhelmed to think of, let alone discuss. It can be difficult to even know where to start, and that is okay. I commend and welcome clients who are taking that first unsure step in therapy, or are continuing treatment to continue their journey towards a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

Navigating life's obstacles can be overwhelming. People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition -starting or ending school or work; moving to a new city; beginning or leaving a relationship-. At times, people feel stuck, frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you may find yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Perhaps you feel lost or you long for “something more” but have no clue what’s missing. I will work with you to help you find what you really want and deserve for your life. More information in my website.

Originally from Chile, I am a bilingual culturally-conscious and trauma-informed therapist helping individuals heal from intergenerational trauma, migratory and cultural issues, family dysfunction, attachment issues, and mood disorders. Whether this is your first time or not, if you’re here you’re taking an active step to dedicate time and invest in you and your wellbeing. That is AWESOME. I value the co-creation of a strong relationship that allows reconnection with your emotional self, all the intersections of your existence, and the life experiences that informed your view of self and the world.

It may be that life deals us the unexpected, or perhaps things just slowly begin to feel “off”—whatever the case may be, we can find growth and healing by exploring the ways our past affects our present. Scary? Definitely! But accessing these versions of ourselves that have been dormant is what helps us shift from surviving to thriving. Whether you’ve been experiencing anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma, or feeling burned out, I can help become a truer version of yourself. For your convenience, I offer online appointments for clients located in DC and MD, or in person appointments at my office in Farragut Square, DC.
