I am dedicated to supporting clients who seek deeper understanding and meaningful change in their lives. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions and are motivated to find balance, resilience, and self-growth. They're looking for a compassionate, guiding hand to help them process their experiences, discover their strengths, and build a fulfilling future. Whether they're seeking short-term solutions or long-term transformation. My approach centers on meeting clients where they are and helping them find a personalized path forward.

I offer a tailored approach to therapy, combining techniques like cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, person-centered, positive psychology, and emotion-focused therapies. This allows me to guide you in building new skills, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, and creating healthy coping strategies. Together, we'll explore what works best for you!

Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm honored to walk this path with you. With a multicultural background, I'm committed to supporting Hispanic Americans and individuals from diverse backgrounds. Thank you for trusting me to hold space for your story as you embark on this path toward healing and growth. Together, we'll explore your unique journey.
