I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing individual and couples therapy. I support Latinx/Hispanic, LGBTQIA+, and Veteran clients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep difficulties, and major life transitions. Many seek support when feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or their relationships, looking for clarity, stability, and meaningful change. I provide a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space, using evidence-based approaches to help clients regulate their nervous system, deepen emotional awareness, and develop practical coping skills.
I provide personalized, specialty-driven therapy, focusing on strong therapeutic relationships, pacing sessions to each client’s needs, and offering ongoing feedback. Through this collaborative process, clients gain insight, practical skills, and lasting growth while honoring their culture and personality.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we can enhance your well-being and work toward your therapeutic goals. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery.
