I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and adolescents.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a relationship of equals. I am not a professional or expert human being and will never claim to be. I share this because I believe in meeting the people I work with where they are at. Where the client wants to go and the goals they bring into therapy is ultimately their decision to make – though I am more than happy to help them figure this out as well. I want to help clients figure out themselves, explore how they can improve, learn how to get to where they want to be, and overall, to better understand themselves and their emotions.

I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of issues with children, adolescents, and adults, which include anxiety/panic, depression, anger, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, sleep disorders, self-harm, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and PTSD. The foundation of my work recognizes that the mind, body and spirit are equally important in healing the person. Because there is a constant interaction between these 3 entities, each has a significant influence on the other. When all 3 entities are addressed, optimal and sustaining changes can be achieved. I enjoy working with all issues when using this approach to help you achieve your goals.

Born and raised in Reno, I’m proud to call this community home. As the oldest daughter in a Latin household, I’ve always been a natural peacemaker—bringing calm and understanding to those around me. Family means everything to me, and I love sharing life’s adventures with my fiancé and our two dogs. Whether it’s road trips, exploring nature, or relaxing at the movies, I value connection, peace, and simple joys.

I help high-functioning adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck in recurring conflict, or disconnected from themselves and each other.
Many of my clients are successful, capable people who appear to be managing well on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, stress, or relationship challenges.
I specialize in couples therapy, especially during early marriage and the stress of parenthood, when communication, intimacy, and teamwork often feel harder than expected.

Fundamentally I believe in meeting a client where he, she, or they are at in the moment. Knowing where a client is followed by learning where they want go in personal development. Working with clients to help them along their journey to that goal. Sometimes goals change, or circumstances emerge that alter a path. Transitioning to new goals or paths, or after bump in the road or derailment getting back on track is not easy. Everyone needs support to help through transitions and hurdles. One of the most difficult things a person does is ask for help –walking through the door the first time.

In the midst of life and its constant changes, it is comforting, at times, to have someone to talk with. I enjoy being a light and ear for others during more challenging moments. The needs we have as individuals change as we grow and it can be tough to identify the lessons that motivate us to press forward. As we and our environments continue to shift, at times we get stuck. It takes courage to acknowledge our own reflection and seek what we need. While attempting to balance various life developments, emotionally/mentally, conquering goals may seem bleak or unattainable. Whatever those desires or stressors, I will sit with you.

You come first in therapy. I’m just here to help. When we learn to be honest with ourselves, life is happier, problems are solvable, and relationships are easier. I prefer a direct approach because self-exploration requires clear reflection. I’m also patient because sometimes it takes a few tries to get to where we want to be.
