I use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma focused therapy.
I am a bilingual counselor (Spanish and English) with over 17 years of experience specializing in relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, anxiety, as well as grief and loss. Having extensive experience working with immigrant populations—and being an immigrant myself—I deeply understand the unique challenges of adjusting to life in a new country.

One of the most profound determinants of how we experience our lives is how we feel about ourselves–our sense of worthiness. The story (our narrative) we tell ourselves is reinforced for better, or for worse. The health of our relationship, the one with ourselves, often dictates the health of our relationship with others. We all have the innate capacity to grow and change, to be resilient in the face of challenges, and to be empowered to change patterns of behavior and relationship that no longer serve us.

You’re a high-functioning woman who often holds it all together for your kids, your career, your partner but inside, you’re exhausted. You crave deep emotional connection, inner peace, and clarity. You’re done surviving and ready to heal old patterns, regulate your nervous system, and feel fully alive. You want more than talk therapy you want whole-person healing that honors your story, your body, and your spirit.

Bienvenido and greetings! I'm glad that you're here. Are you tired of carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief? If so, I may be the therapist for you. I especially work with first- and second-generation Americans, as well as individuals who struggle with facets of biculturalism. These individuals have to navigate complex pressures, establish personal boundaries, and resolve their identity conflicts between their home culture and American society. I utilize evidenced-based practices in order to help build confidence, learn communication skills, and overcome mental health stigmas.

You have just taken those first steps to creating positive change for your mental and emotional health. Fantastic! Getting to understand ourselves is hard enough, learning how to communicate clearly and navigate human relationships is ten times harder. Talk therapy is an effective tool to help us understand what our needs really are, where our negative thoughts come from, and how to express to others what we are feeling and perceiving. If you struggle with trusting your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, I can help you untangle those webs, and find a place of peace and balance in yourself.

I provide therapy deep-feeling adults navigating ADHD, religious trauma, financial or money trauma, early childhood trauma, and anxiety.Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or exhausted from constantly trying to keep up in environments that didn’t always understand how their brain or nervous system works. My approach is warm, affirming, and rooted in lived experience, clinical training, and deep respect for your inner wisdom. I’m not a blank-slate therapist—I show up authentically and believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be fully seen and fully human.

You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, grieving a loss, coping with an illness, or stuck in difficult relationship patterns. Many of the individuals (adults and children) I work with are used to caring for others while neglecting their own needs. You may be seeking relief, clarity, and a space where you can be honest without judgment.

Being a new mom is hard. You’re sleep deprived, learning your new little one, and everyone has advice for you. “Sleep when the baby sleeps; you’ll feel better, and happier, when you get a few more hours of sleep; It’s just the baby blues, you’ll be ok in a few weeks; the house work can get done later, make sure the baby is eating enough…” What if you’re still sad after “a few weeks”, you feel scared, anxious, or can't turn your thoughts off? It can start to feel like you are getting through each day in "survival mode". With the help of our knowledgeable counselors, you can stop "surviving" life and start enjoying it.
