Most of my professional experience has been working with underserved and underrepresented populations such as the elderly, homeless, Spanish-speaking, and dual-diagnosed individuals with chronic mental illness. I also have experience running groups for depression and grief, and working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals with people in crisis. Bilingual in Spanish, I enjoy giving back to my community. Siempre con mi gente! I work from an evidence-based, person-centered perspective, believing each person has the potential to heal when given the right tools.
My professional interests include gerontology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, stress, burnout, depression, and grief. Inspired by my maternal grandfather, who taught me the value of listening, empathy, and understanding, I was drawn to psychology and counseling. I believe in helping clients thrive and reach their full potential, free from stigma and prejudice
I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.
