I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, and in the last six years, I have been focusing on helping clients through their healing and self-discovery journey. After working with Active-Duty service members, my practice evolved from general mental wellness to trauma-focused therapy with an emphasis on disorders co-morbid to it.

I am humbled when a client places their trust in me and is able to share their story. It is a privilege and an honor to be able to sit with them during their challenging stages in life and hold space. I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialization in Latina/Latino family studies.

I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other life challenges, primarily in community mental health with marginalized and underserved communities.

Reducing self-judgment and increasing curiosity about yourself will help you to make better decisions that are aligned with your core values.

I am a therapist with over 10 years of experience using clinical skills.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Making the decision to start the healing journey can be a tough one, so I truly appreciate your consideration in having me walk alongside you. I support folx in recognizing their own resilience, exploring intersectional identities and sense of self, and navigating life's stressors and changes. Maybe you're experiencing a shift in your life. Maybe there are parts of yourself that you need support with reconciling and integrating. Or maybe you have experienced trauma and are ready to process it. Whatever it is, I'm excited to bear witness to your growth and be part of your journey.

I'm a Peruvian psychotherapist that grew up in the city of Cudahy. I received my education from UCLA and USC. I advocate, motivate and educate on innovative healing to achieve a wholesome life. In treatment, I promote the importance of radical self-care and how this is what leads to emotional, mental, sexual, and physical health. My specialty is working with survivors of trauma. I help individuals navigate ancestral healing, generational and inter-generational trauma as well as other conditions that affect our mood, thoughts, and behavior.

No longer alone. We are here with you. In life, we experience different events, such as the recent pandemic, financial stress, overwhelming anxiety and pressure, the loss of a loved one, the unexpected divorce, a difficult birth, etc. and adjust the best we can, using our strengths and supports. We mostly do well. However, sometimes our coping strategies are insufficient to achieve our long term goals and heal our emotional and/or relationship wounds. You turn to others for support and guidance, such as family, friends, religious and ethnic community, and sometimes, you want to go deeper within yourself to seek out the answers.

For a long time I have desired to bring wellness to our people with simple access. As the concept of mental health is finally gaining the audience it deserves I realize there is a missing piece. You don't have to be "not well" or "not functioning" to have a therapist or coach to help you through challenging times or humps. My goal is always to support you in reaching your own optimal functioning. What is to be acknowledged is that this means something different for each of us individually. Let's not be compared to the masses yet rather to our own self. I strive to create an environment where you can BE...WELL...STRONG...LOVED...YOU!
