I work with children, teens, and young adults.
I view therapy as a holistic and collaborative experience, where people can learn more about themselves while joining a therapeutic alliance rooted in compassion, warmth and acceptance. I am passionate about providing individualized care that meets my clients where they are at in innovative and flexible ways. It is important to me for my clients to feel autonomy over their treatment as well as feel support through whatever it is that brings them in!

Major life transitions, parenthood, relationships, healing after trauma, can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or stuck in patterns you don’t want to repeat. I’m Yesenia, a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist supporting adults and couples through trauma recovery, identity work, and relationship healing. As a first-generation Hispanic American parent, I understand the impact of intergenerational trauma, cultural expectations, and the desire to break cycles while honoring your roots. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe while building coping skills, insight, and emotional regulation.

as a teenager—a transition that deeply shaped how I understand identity, belonging, and the ways culture shapes our inner lives.
In our work together, I prioritize trust, curiosity, and collaboration. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe exploring both the visible and unspoken parts of their story. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices, but always tailored to the person in front of me.

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression in children, teens, and adults using evidence-based approaches, including CBT and person-centered strategies.
You may feel like you’re constantly 'on,' navigating a mental treadmill of 'what-ifs' and overthinking that leaves you emotionally exhausted. Whether you are an emerging adult building your future or a parent trying to balance it all, life can feel like a series of overwhelming demands rather than a journey you're actually enjoying. You’re likely seeking more than just a place to vent; you want a space where you can finally feel steady, clear-headed, and capable of breaking the unhelpful patterns that keep you feeling stuck or drained.

It’s a brave step to begin psychotherapy. I've been a clinician for over 20 years and my experience has given me a realistic view of the process. I understand that it is not easy and that it requires time, effort, and money. I know that it's not immediately comfortable to talk about your private life with a relative stranger.

Additionally, I strive to provide safety and acceptance for adults, children, and adolescents navigating trauma and stress, specializing in PTSD and CPTSD.
At this moment, you may be struggling with feelings of uncertainty, pressure, or worry. Perhaps you’d rather avoid this moment altogether. Taking this step to seek support with whatever challenges you may be facing can feel daunting, but my hope is to alleviate some of those feelings by embarking on that journey together. I integrate a person-centered, relational approach where you are the expert on your own self and lived experiences, and where my role is to honor your authentic self through commitment and compassion.

Are you seeking a therapist for yourself or a loved one and feeling uncertain about where to begin? Starting therapy can be an overwhelming process, and finding someone who feels like the right fit can often be difficult. It’s entirely natural to wonder whether you’ll feel understood, supported, or aligned in values. I find that a strong therapeutic alliance is the key component to effective treatment and personal growth. I strive to provide a compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment so you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with confidence and trust.

You feel anxious and it’s hard to shut your brain off. People tell you to relax, but it’s not that easy. Your life is going well, but there’s always a new worry on the horizon. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but it’s hard to sit back and enjoy it. Your standards for yourself feel too high. You tend to doubt yourself and your abilities and look to other people to reassure you. You invest a lot of time and energy into how other people feel, but end up in one-sided relationships. It’s hard to take up space, feel confident, and speak your truth. I help anxious overachievers rest, relax, and find balance in their busy lives.

Therapy should be a holistic and collaborative process, one that helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs. You may be navigating a big change, a season of life that feels different, or feeling the effects of pressure, anxiety, and burnout that have been building over time. My approach to therapy is shaped by each person’s experiences, goals, and what feels meaningful to them.

Life can feel overwhelming with transitions, life stressors, relationship, past traumas and the relentless pace of modern living. These stressors can lead to unresolved pain and unmet needs that impact our daily functioning, growth and relationships. My approach focuses on co-creating a safe space where we can explore your unique experiences, process challenges and trauma, uncover your inner strength and enhance our expression of self, acceptance and compassion.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, disordered eating, or the pressure to constantly perform. Others are navigating injury recovery, sport performance concerns, or life transitions. While their experiences may look different, they often share a similar feeling: something isn’t working. Therapy provides a space to better understand the patterns that keep you stuck, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier, more sustainable ways of living. My goal is to help clients perform at their best while building a life that feels fulfilling and sustainable.

You might find yourself living with constant worry, a harsh inner critic, or thoughts that get stuck on repeat and feel hard to quiet. At times, even everyday situations can feel overwhelming, leading to a freeze response or a sense of not feeling fully safe in your body. For neurodivergent folks or those impacted by past trauma, these reactions make sense—they’re your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you, not signs of something “wrong” with you. Using a trauma-informed approach, we’ll work gently together to help your nervous system experience more safety, balance, and calm. You do not have to go through this alone.
