I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist dedicated to supporting adults & adolescents to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. I provide therapy that combines psychoeducation, personalized support plans, and a safe, empowering space for healing.
My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, rooted in compassion and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT, mindfulness, and somatic work. I also incorporate skill-based strategies to support growth & resilience.
Grounded in person-centered and strength-based care, I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, postpartum, body image issues, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life changes. Therapy with me focuses on building resilience, strengthening self-trust, and cultivating long-term emotional wellness for both mind and body.
