Depression, PTSD, and substance use can make it hard to feel connected—to others, to the world, and even to yourself. When you're caught in the heaviness of these experiences, it can feel like no one truly sees what you're carrying. My decision to become a therapist was shaped by watching loved ones navigate both substance use and mental health challenges. I wanted to understand their pain and learn how to offer the kind of support that truly makes a difference. I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Latino Mental Health from Antioch University (2017) and work with teens and adults ages 14+.
Drawing from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices, I offer a grounded, practical approach to healing. Whether we’re unpacking trauma, managing emotional intensity, or building coping tools for daily life, our time together is guided by your pace and needs. You don’t have to face these challenges alone—and your story deserves to be heard with care.
When you're ready to take a step toward feeling more in control and less overwhelmed, I'm here. Let's talk.
