Teens and college students come to when they are feeling overwhelmed by life, school, or expectations —offering flexible sessions, honest support, and space to feel understood.
Women come to me when they’re done just talking about change and ready to live it. My approach is direct yet compassionate, helping you heal and grow.
Mothers come to me when they’ve carried it all and need space to exhale and remember they matter too.
I am a bicultural (Latina) and bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
I serve women, middle school age girls, high school teen girls, and college women who need evening and weekend hours.
You’re ready for more than talking — you want to feel better. I help women and teens who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, stress, & depression. At Sana Mind we incorporate wellness tools and self-care routines to support the therapeutic experience, because we know that the science shows that trauma is stored in the body and talk therapy is not always sufficient.
Therapy should feel like something made for you— not something you settle for.
I’m so glad you found us.
I help women and teens move from burnout and overwhelm to grounded, confident, and rested.
I am a certified Accelerated Resolution Therapist, I value evidenced based modalities that allow clients to feel their growth.
