Many clients come to work with me at a time in their lives when they feel disconnected from themselves, stuck in their relationships, or when they are experiencing a major life transition. During these times, people often believe something is wrong with them and fear that others will judge them if they open up about their true feelings. As a result, many people stay quiet about their pain and feel lonely. Being a therapist has taught me that the struggles we encounter in life are far more common than we realize and your healing can be possible with my support.
My specialty areas include: women's mental health, self-growth, adjustments to life transitions, and trauma. I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health. I am becoming an EMDR trained therapist and am trained in Level 1 and 2 of Gottman's Couples Counseling Method.
I’m a cisgender Latina, a wife, and a mother of three. My life experiences have helped me develop compassion for life’s complexities and the belief that therapy can hold life-changing power at any stage of life. I combine my training, identities and empathy to create a space that fosters insights and guides people to live authentically.
