Life can feel unbearably heavy when you're carrying trauma, grief, or constant anxiety. You may look like you're functioning on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, stuck or exhausted from holding everything together. If you're looking for a space where you can slow down and make sense of what you're carrying, I offer a grounded, compassionate environment where you can process your experiences and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel lost or shut down.

I work with adults, teens, and families navigating ADHD, burnout, trauma, and family relationships that keep repeating the same shape.
A lot of my clients are competent, capable people who are privately struggling — carrying past hurt, family change, and daily overwhelm while everyone assumes they’re fine. That gap between how you’re doing and how you look is exhausting to maintain. We work on what’s underneath it rather than managing the symptoms.

I work with individuals, couples, and teens facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
Are you feeling weighed down by anxiety, stuck in painful patterns, or struggling to find yourself again? Maybe you’re carrying trauma that’s hard to put into words, or a relationship that’s lost its connection. As a Latina therapist, I understand the unique pressure of balancing cultural expectations, family dynamics, and your own mental health — often without permission to struggle. You deserve a space where you are seen exactly as you are, without judgment.

If I had to guess, you’re aiming to find someone you can relate to, someone who will understand what you’re dealing with, someone who can help you because they’ve been there too. The truth is: no one else has lived your same life. From day one, we are shaped by our families, our cultures, our experiences, whether triumphant or traumatic, and through these experiences, we become unique individuals. However, you and I also share several human commonalities. Like you, I know depression and hurt. I know anxiety and fear. Whatever our differences, I believe we can find common ground, and that is where the therapeutic relationship begins.

My journey in mental health has given me a diverse toolkit—harm reduction, trauma-informed care, art therapy, CBT, crisis management, motivational interviewing, positive discipline, and Adlerian theory. I’ve worked with clients of all ages on issues like mood disorders, chronic pain, trauma, PTSD, stress, anger management, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, grief, addictions, and codependency.
I’m passionate about mental health because it shapes our identity and well-being. Learning to cope with uncomfortable emotions builds resilience—even when early emotional growth was stunted.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
