Therapy should feel human —
As a bilingual (English/Spanish) art psychotherapist and a mom, I bring real-life understanding, compassion, humor when needed and cultural awareness into every session. I know what it’s like to juggle healing, family, identity, and the constant demands of life — and I meet my clients with the same openness I offer my own child.
Whether you prefer audio or video sessions, I create a safe, flexible, judgment-free space where you can explore your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Are you experiencing fear, loneliness, anger, grief, chronic illness, or pain? Maybe you're transitioning or feeling un-rooted, on an edge, lost, anxious, and/or addicted? Our identities and perspectives are informed by how we relate to and make sense of these experiences. Knowledge of that we call 'self' is a continual and creative process, and includes relationship to the unconscious - the ever-moving parts of the psyche yet unknown to us. I help clients find focus and relax preconceived notions of how growth and healing occurs. This allows one to learn from their symptoms in order to ease suffering - to hold paradox.

Additionally, I work with children, utilizing play therapy to help them express themselves and heal.
I believe in trauma informed care and that individuals do not need to be defined by their trauma or their past. I also believe in moving foward towards positive change.

Life can feel heavy, even when you’re holding it all together. Many of the men I work with are high-achieving and responsible for everyone else, yet inside they feel anxious, stressed, or disconnected. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.
