Waitlist for new clients
I am a bilingual (English/ Spanish) therapist specializing in trauma including sexual abuse, interpersonal therapy, solution-oriented and strengths-based focused therapy.
Asking for support can be a challenging and important way to honor yourself and your needs. Let’s build on that courage, curiosity for change and motivation. I believe change is possible and trust - with your therapist, with yourself and your loved ones - can be a key part of healing. For many people, trauma, anxiety and/or depression can impede connecting and living fully. Experiences of loneliness, burnout and hopelessness can be overpowering. I want therapy to be a space where you can express yourself and feel empowered and grounded. We can balance between time to use coping skills and space for reflection or exploration.

I work with individuals navigating OCD, perfectionism, anxiety (generalized, social, or in dating/relationships), depression, religious trauma/spiritual abuse, amongst others. My approach is collaborative and supportive: we work together to clarify your values, set attainable and measurable goals, and use them as a guide to move closer to the life you desire. I often assign homework to ensure progress between sessions and incorporate exposure exercises to help you face fears and build confidence. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, reduce distress, and create meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels authentic to you.

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults in English and Spanish.
I believe that human behavior is determined by one's past experiences, genetic factors, and present situation. I incorporate concepts that help people change dysfunctional thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve current challenges in life.

I have experience working with survivors of sexual assault and certified in trauma-informed therapy. This works by using somatic techniques and mindfulness to bring awareness to your body. The approach is a “bottom-up” method, where importance is placed on body sensations that tap into your internal wisdom to find relief.
