I view therapy as a space to show up honestly, without needing to filter yourself or perform. Sessions are collaborative and focused on making sense of difficult feelings, strengthening boundaries, and offering thoughtful, mutual feedback along the way. As a Latina counselor, I value identity, intersectionality, and autonomy as fundamental to the therapeutic process, understanding concerns through the lens of cultural context and lived experience. Rather than focusing on fixing or pathologizing, we focus on slowing things down, noticing patterns, and building clarity around values and boundaries.
My approach is relational and collaborative, drawing from ACT, relational-cultural theory, interpersonal process, and narrative practice, and grounded in queer-affirming, intersectional feminist, anti-racist, somatic, body-liberation, and social and transformative justice frameworks.
I work with teens and adults navigating identity, relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, disability, neurodivergence, multicultural experiences, and sexuality and gender exploration. I meet clients with care and respect, recognizing how systemic oppression, interpersonal dynamics, and societal expectations shape mental health.

I tend to work with young adults who feel overwhelmed, misaligned, or caught between expectations and their own needs. In sessions, we spend time unpacking anxiety, relationships, and identity in the context of culture and systems.
