I specialize in helping children and teens who feel trapped by OCD, anxiety, or mood disorders, struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and emotional challenges. They may benefit from guidance to navigate these difficulties and desire to regain control over their lives. Their goal is to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and improve daily functioning, while living in alignment with their values. With my background in education, I offer a unique perspective that fosters both emotional growth and practical, value-driven strategies to help them thrive in school, relationships, and everyday life.
As a first-generation Mexican-American, I understand the challenges faced by disenfranchised communities. I specialize in treating children and teens significantly impacted by OCD, anxiety, and mood disorders. With my background in education, I offer practical, culturally aware strategies to support both emotional and academic growth.
I understand how overwhelming and isolating OCD and anxiety can feel. Together, we can work on building the tools you need to regain control and live a more fulfilling life. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’m here to support you in this journey. Reach out when you’re ready.
