I believe that everyone deserves to have a sanctioned space where they can prioritize their needs and goals, in order to process past and present experiences. In a society where we may not be taught or allowed to experience a full range of emotions, I want to ensure that my clients will feel affirmed in their feelings, while simultaneously challenging them to analyze their roots. My primary goal is to support clients in healing from the inside out and tailor the therapeutic relationship to each individual's need, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of community, connection, and collaboration to achieve liberation.

Hola. As a bilingual relational therapist, my work revolves around supporting individuals in romantic relationships, diverse families, and people at all stages of life. The journey of managing, maintaining, and understanding our mental health in relation to others can indeed be challenging, overwhelming, and even daunting.

Taking the first step to begin therapy can be a challenging one, and finding the right therapist is an important piece. I take a supportive, non-judgmental approach to therapy and start off by creating a safe space to allow a strong therapeutic relationship to form. I give my clients the space to describe their challenges and hardships. Along the way, I help clients develop coping skills as well as awareness into their patterns and behaviors, and systemic factors, in order to create positive changes in their lives. I support all parts of clients’ histories, inviting honest exploration into the complexities of their experiences.

I know that therapy can feel intimidating—opening up to someone new isn’t easy. That’s why I meet you where you are, creating a space of trust and safety with empathy and patience. In a capitalist society that pushes us to always be productive, I encourage slowing down—tuning into our breath, bodies, and heartbeats—to reconnect with ourselves and the Earth.

I work through Relational-Cultural, Feminist and Person-Centered theoretical frameworks. We will work together to create a space of healing that is non-judgmental and grounded in self-directive, goal-oriented, and strengths-based work. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to the therapeutic relationship, so our work together will be tailored to best address your needs as you identify them. I’m happy you’re here and really looking forward to meeting you.

Healing happens when we are in connection with others. Although trauma, grief, and disconnection may shape us, they don’t define us. We can free ourselves from the shame and guilt we’ve inherited by asking for and accepting care from our community. I partner with individuals and couples, exploring how past experiences impact their well-being and relationship dynamics to find their bespoke path toward healing. Together, we’ll untangle patterns rooted in pain, rebuild trust, and foster self-compassion. Therapy is a space to unburden yourself and create a life of deeper meaning and connection. Let’s begin your healing journey together.
