I’m a Latina Clinical Social Worker/therapist specializing in supporting teens and adults facing challenges like anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, self harm, trauma, PTSD, depression, ADHD, school/college stress, chronic conditions and life changes.
At first, it’s all about getting to know each other. No rush. We’ll talk about what’s been bothering you and figure out how we can work together to make things better. "Todo a tu tiempo." Nothing forced, just real talk. As a proud bilingual mom of two English and Spanish speaking teens, I value connection and resilience. Let’s find your balance!

Under the direct supervision of a licensed mental health clinician, I work with individuals 14 years and older, on a sliding scale basis, navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and other mental health challenges.
Sometimes life leaves you feeling stretched too thin, as if no matter how much you give, there is never quite enough left for yourself. You may find yourself exhausted, stressed, or questioning how you will manage to keep going. Life transitions and relationship struggles can leave you feeling disconnected, uncertain, and in need of support. You don't have to face these challenges alone. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities and strive to foster an inclusive, affirming space where every person feels seen, heard, and respected. I offer services on a sliding scale and on a limited no cost basis.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
