I am a bilingual psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience in mental health and integrated, community-based care. I work with adults of all ages, including members of the LGBTQIA+ and Latinx communities, artists, individuals living with HIV, people with physical disAbilities, people who use drugs or alcohol, and those who have experienced trauma. I provide an affirming, collaborative, and culturally responsive space where clients can explore challenges safely and meaningfully.
I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, loss and grief, life transitions, and substance mis-use. My approach combines CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, psychodynamic and humanistic therapies, solution-focused techniques, and ecological systems theory, tailoring sessions to each client’s goals and context.
I am skilled in active listening to illuminate unresolved issues and use a narrative approach to clarify complex experiences. Grounded in social justice principles, I foster insight, empowerment, and growth. I welcome you to reach out and begin building greater clarity, balance, and well-being in your life.
