Saludos! Do you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism? I would love to connect with you. I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I work with high achieving professionals, graduate students, scientists, and civil servants looking to handle their harsh inner critic and break free from "imposter syndrome". I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from avoidant behaviors (e.g., procrastination) that hinder their ability to reach their goals.

I am originally from Ecuador and speak English and Spanish. I tend to connect well both with immigrants adjusting to a new life in the States, and with first-generation folks negotiating family expectations and those of their social, educational or professional life.

I offer structure, guidance and accountability along with genuine care for you and your goals. My hope is to support you in addressing barriers holding you back from living according to your values. I can’t wait to help you find your confidence, your voice, and your next steps.
