I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin the journey to healing and personal growth. Life is full of stressors and challenges that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or hopeless. I can provide a safe space in order to explore and manage destructive behavior patterns and feelings.

As a Queer Latina woman of color, I know how it can feel dealing with the consequences of systemic barriers and trauma.
I have a concentration in Latinx Mental Health, where I have been able to learn the effects of racism, oppression, and discrimination on BIPOC communities. I aim to create a space where these experiences are essential to recognize. I have a particular passion for working with marginalized communities and adolescents.

As a first-generation Mexican American, I understand how culture, family expectations, and identity shape your stress and your sense of self.
Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or feeling like they always have to “hold it all together.” Together, we slow things down, explore your story at your pace, and build practical coping tools so you can feel more grounded and confident in daily life.

Struggling to feel confident in who you are — especially in groups? Do you want to be a leader, speak up, or just feel seen—but worry others won’t understand your lived experience, your identity, or even your reality? You know your values. You know your truth. But voicing them feels risky. Maybe you've even thought, "My brown ass/gay ass can't say that out loud." And yet, deep down, you know business as usual just isn’t cutting it anymore. You’re ready for CHANGE.

My ideal client feels stuck but genuinely wants change. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, or coping patterns that feel limiting. It’s okay if they enter therapy feeling exhausted or alone. They may be navigating transitions, loneliness, or trauma while seeking lasting change. They want to feel safe in their mind and body, build healthier relationships, trust themselves, and break cycles. Most importantly, they’re open to self-exploration with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to show up authentically.

I enjoy working with children, teens, college students, and young adults, especially those navigating the uncertainty and pressure that often comes with growing up and major life transitions. Clients may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, or feeling overwhelmed by school, relationships, or identity. Some come in not knowing exactly what’s wrong, just that things feel heavy. I offer a collaborative, supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and build tools to feel more grounded and confident.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you - Maya Angelou. Have you ever found yourself stuck within stressful relationships, triggering environments or confusing emotions? That "stuck" feeling can often lead to stagnation in our day to day lives, and uncertainty about the future. I address these struggles by utilizing a holistic, trauma-informed approach, which incorporates body-oriented, anti-oppression and harm reduction practices. These strategies allow me to focus on the strengths already within each client, while also uncovering past wounds that might be limiting growth.
