I am a bilingual therapist who is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. My approach is person-centered, focusing on your unique needs while incorporating techniques from other evidence-based practices to help you achieve your goals. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths and navigate challenges at a pace that feels right for you. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I tailor my work to each individual, understanding that every person is unique and requires a personalized approach.
In my sessions, I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being their true selves. I balance professionalism with a genuine, relatable approach—like having a heartfelt, “sister-girl” conversation when working with women who need that space to feel heard and understood.
