I support women, young adults, and LGBTQ+ clients as they navigate trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor and first-generation Latina, I honor the cultural identities, values, and lived experiences each client brings into the therapy space. I strive to offer a warm, affirming, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and grow at their own pace. I am currently welcoming new clients.
I bring extensive experience from crisis centers serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, a Children’s Advocacy Center supporting non-offending caregivers, and community health and private practice settings. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, compassionate care for adults healing from trauma.
You are the expert in your own life, and therapy is a space to honor that wisdom. My role is to support and walk alongside you as you explore your goals, strengths, and possibilities for growth. If you’re considering this next step, I invite you to reach out and see if this feels right for you.
