Whether it’s your first time starting therapy or you’re returning after some time, I am genuinely glad you’re here, and I’m excited to support you on your journey. In a world where hustle culture often pushes mental health aside, there is so much power and courage in choosing to prioritize your well-being. Even during the most difficult seasons of life, there is beauty in the process—sometimes, we just need that reminder and support.

I’m bilingual and bi-cultural and enjoy working with folks of all backgrounds, but am especially passionate about working with folks from the Latino/x community.
I have a warm interpersonal style, with a balance of humor and direct feedback. I believe that if you are looking to psychotherapy as a mode to improve something in your life, that treatment must be goal oriented. We collaborate on the “what” needs improving and “how” we’ll know that things are better.

Does it sometimes feel like the life you have is not yours? That there are things that you want to do, values you want to move towards, and yet it feels as if you don’t have much choice. Expectations surrounding identity, gender, sexuality, race, culture might make it that much harder to even know where to move towards. And that makes a lot sense, after all, you’re navigating life for the first time and there isn’t much of a blueprint. Factors such as trauma, anxiety, depression, can make this so much harder.

It is from this understanding that I've dedicated my practice to serving the often marginalized – be it the Latino community, the LGBT spectrum, or those embarking on non-traditional relationships.
Drawing upon a holistic perspective, I strive to understand not only you but also the intricate web of relationships that surround and influence you – from family & friends, to societal interactions. My belief rests in the notion that our challenges are intertwined with these relationships, and thus, healing isn't a solitary endeavor but a collaborative one.
