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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Domestic Violence Professional. I work with adults in the areas of stress, trauma, relationship and life transitions. I work with clients empowering them to build on their inner strengths. Working in a respectful and non-judgmental way to decide the process of our work together.
