If you’re someone who feels like you have to hold it all together for everyone else, yet feel disconnected from who you really are — I see you. You may be the one who’s achieved a lot on the outside but feels lost, exhausted, or overwhelmed on the inside. My clients often come to me feeling like they’re living in two worlds — balancing family expectations with their own goals, questioning their worth when they can’t meet every demand, and struggling to feel like they truly belong anywhere.

In our sessions, you can expect to leave with not only a deeper understanding of yourself, but also practical tools and strategies to improve your emotional well-being. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling more capable of handling life’s challenges—whether they’re internal struggles like self-doubt, or external pressures like work stress.

As a first-generation Latina, I understand the importance of creating a therapeutic space that is safe and culturally affirming. I offer sessions in English, Spanish, or Spanglish. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you!
