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.

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.

I work with adults from diverse and often bicultural backgrounds who are navigating personal challenges—whether within themselves, their families, or relationships.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. A lot of my clients look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or just mentally drained and need a space to unpack it all.

My style is real, supportive, and no-judgment—less clinical, more human. We’ll figure things out together—gaining clarity, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change that is realistic for you.

Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout? Are you trying to find the joy in your daily life but struggling? Do you want to find a way to just start feeling better?
This is what I hear most often during consultation calls with clients. There is a burning desire to create balance in their lives but there is something blocking them. I know the feeling, I've been there too - juggling all the day-to-day responsibilities with a smile is not easy.
As a BIPOC provider, I understand the cultural nuances that can make it challenging to express yourself so it's important that I create the space for you to be heard.

My primary goal as a clinical psychologist is to help patients develop more fulfilling, meaningful and rewarding relationships through evidence-based treatment. My approach to healing integrates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). I work collaboratively with individuals to create a safe space and a therapeutic alliance where clients identify aspects of life that are causing difficulties and symptoms. CBT and IPT enable clients to uncover and to change unhelpful patterns of social behavior, distortions of thought, and to improve present day coping skills and management of emotions.

You said, “It’s fine” when it wasn’t. Then spent the night replaying the conversation in your head. You lead, deliver, and everyone leans on you. But lately, overthinking is louder, boundaries are fraying, and your body’s keeping score. Even self-care feels like something you must earn. You’ve carried it all long enough. There can be space that holds you, too.
I work with thoughtful, driven people who’ve learned how to survive but want more than just coping. They’re ready for clarity, steadiness, and a life that honors who they are, not only who they had to be.

You may be the person everyone turns to for support while your own needs are left unmet. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with difficult relationships, carrying the weight of past experiences, or navigating a major life transition. Many of my clients appear successful on the outside but feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck internally. Together, we create a supportive space to better understand what’s happening, develop practical coping skills, and build healthier patterns that promote lasting emotional well-being.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counseling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
