I’m a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping clients find their authentic selves. As a second-generation American from a vibrant Latinx community, I bring personal and professional experience in addressing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges. I feel deep meaning in working with trauma survivors, women, Latinx, first-generation Americans, emerging adults (18-25), college students, and veterans. Together, we’ll identify your core values and remove barriers preventing you from a meaningful life. You’ll cultivate self-compassion and skills to face unique life circumstances.
I use evidence-based therapies, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a gold standard approach with strong research support. ACT helps you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions, gives a framework to identify what a meaningful life looks like to you, and equips you with the skills to walk that path.
I understand healing can feel daunting, but it’s one of the most worthwhile journeys you can take. I’m here to offer support with empathy, respect, and encouragement. In our work together, you can expect a safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental space. If you think we’re a good fit, I’d love to help you take the first step toward growth and healing.
