As a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychologist with a specialization in trauma and health. I value serving all those in need of support in coping through physical and mental challenges. I know that life feels different and overwhelming and it can feel daunting to find something to look forward to when you don't feel 100%. This is all a valid and a normal part of our human experience, which can be sad and painful. I believe that even in the midst of these changes, you can still grow and connect with your inner purpose and meaning. My goal is to walk alongside you and provide supportive tools to enhance your quality of life.
I offer evidence-based psychotherapies and interventions for adults navigating chronic health issues, including cancer. I work with individuals, couples, families, and caregivers. My work focuses on supporting people navigate the following concerns: coping with new diagnosis, challenges to medical treatments, medical trauma survivorship and end of life.
Please review my website for more information and reach out if you have additional questions or want to schedule an initial consultation. No time like today to invest in your psychological health and wellness.
