I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychotherapy and psychological testing for the Latinx/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ communities in Illinois. As a Latina, I’m passionate about supporting individuals and couples as they navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, acculturation stress, and complex relationship dynamics within diverse cultural contexts. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel truly heard and respected. Using evidence-based practices and a culturally responsive approach, I am here to guide you on your path toward self-discovery, healing, and well-being.
I have a strong background in supporting individuals from diverse underserved communities, including women, immigrants, veterans, and members of the Latinx/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ groups, addressing the unique challenges they face. Additionally, I specialize in working with couples, providing an inclusive and affirming approach to many relationship dynamics.
If you're ready to take the next step towards positive change, I invite you to contact me. Together, we can work towards enhancing your well-being and achieving your therapeutic goals. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey towards healing and growth!
