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.

You’ve tried doing “the work” already. Therapy, self-help books, late-night Google rabbit holes... but something still feels stuck. Like no matter how hard you try, the same patterns keep repeating. Maybe it’s perfectionism that leads to procrastination, caregiving others that leaves you burnt out, or overthinking that robs you of time and rest. You’ve done therapy before, maybe even read all the self-help books. But the standard 50 minute session just hasn’t gotten to the root. You might be someone who’s deeply thoughtful, creative, or neurodivergent - someone who grew up feeling misunderstood or like your needs were too much.

The past few years have stretched many of us in unexpected ways. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for support, therapy can be a powerful place to regain clarity and steadiness. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship challenges, major life transitions, parenting stress, and work/unemployment pressures. I tailor our sessions to meet your needs using cognitive, behavioral, and acceptance-based approaches. And I've had success with various styles of therapy ranging from classic, evidence-based techniques (e.g., CBT) to informal life-coaching.

As a bilingual (English/ Spanish) therapist, I offer a space grounded in cultural humility, empathy, and respect.
I work with college students, professionals, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come from diverse cultural backgrounds or marginalized communities, including Latinx and first-generation individuals. They’re not just seeking coping tools, but a space for meaningful insight, personal growth, and authentic support.

Many of my clients are navigating meaningful life transitions – starting high school or college, career changes, relationships, parenthood, relocation, or questions about identity and direction. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained and want support figuring out what comes next. I work with teens, adults, and couples facing anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, family stress, and cultural or identity-related challenges. Together, we create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, understood and supported. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.

As a Peruvian-born, bilingual (English/ Spanish) therapist, I enjoy working with members of the international community, and people from diverse backgrounds.
If you feel stuck in old patterns or weighed down by past pain, therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, your values, and the people who matter most. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling disconnected, or carrying experiences from the past that still shape your present, you don’t have to face it alone.

Are you seeking a space to be seen and heard? Are there parts of you that are feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are the big emotions feeling particularly heavy? Your story is important and is what makes you uniquely you. I believe that we are shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and environments. Our stories rarely unfold in the way we expect. Oftentimes, to move forward we need to heal from things in our past. Together in therapy, we will explore all parts of your story – from the chapters already concluded to those not yet written.
