Many of my clients are navigating questions of identity, intimacy, or connection and want a space where they can be seen, supported, and understood. They may be exploring sexuality or relationship dynamics, working through anxiety or depression, or adapting to major life transitions. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and their families seeking to strengthen communication, deepen relationships, and feel more grounded in their identities, though my space is open to all. My role in all of this is to offer a compassionate and collaborative space where curiosity, honesty, and growth are always welcome.

My calling lies in empowering adolescents and young adults who face the devastating effects of generational and societal trauma, systemic racism and class oppression, as well as the layers of gender/sexuality and discrimination. I am especially driven by working alongside my clients to confront long standing fear and insecurity with a decolonizing, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist framework. My mission is to create a safe, healing space for people from all walks of life, particularly those who identify as QTBIPoC.

As a bilingual therapist, I draw from professional expertise and personal lived experience to create a safe, affirming space where Latinx and other marginalized clients feel seen, supported and empowered to heal.
My ideal clients are navigating life transitions, stress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or identity-related challenges. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are looking for a space where they can be fully themselves—without judgment. They seek clarity, emotional relief, and growth. Whether they're teens figuring life out, adults carrying generational burdens, or elders reflecting on their journey, they want to feel empowered, heard, and supported as they work toward healing and meaningful change.

Currently accepting Telehealth clients. In a world of constant transitions, it can be challenging to feel settled with change. Therapy provides an outlet to explore and change aspects of life causing distress. It offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through feelings and engage strengths to cope with change. I provide action-oriented, supportive, feminist, and person-centered psychotherapy. I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaking), bicultural therapist who understands cultural influences. I also provide comprehensive mental health evaluations for asylum, VAWA, U Visa, extreme hardship, or T Visa.

To me, therapy is a way to share stories. They're complex and nuanced, informed by the systems we exist within and the identities that make up the multitude of our whole. I have experience working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and disordered eating. We can work together in the therapeutic space to spend time exploring these stories and understanding how they impact your life and how to develop tools to make things feel more manageable. It is my goal to create a safe space free from judgment where we can explore, learn, and grow together.

I’m especially passionate about supporting Black and Latinx patients, and those exploring sexuality, gender identity, or non-traditional relationships.
I work with patients who are navigating identity, family, and emotional wellbeing. Many carry the weight of generational expectations, unspoken trauma, or cultural narratives that no longer reflect who they are. They may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges rooted in family dynamics or inherited beliefs. They’re exploring identity or breaking cycles of emotional suppression, over-responsibility, or perfectionism. Together, we honor their roots while setting healthy boundaries, so they can speak their truth without guilt and build a life aligned with their authentic self.

Hola. As a bilingual relational therapist, my work revolves around supporting individuals in romantic relationships, diverse families, and people at all stages of life.
