A proud Latina and native Spanish speaker, I specialize in culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy with expertise in grief, immigration, juvenile justice, addiction medicine, and evidence-based care.
My ideal clients are individuals seeking clinical immigration evaluations for asylum, VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, or extreme-hardship cases. Many come to me after experiencing trauma, persecution, abuse, separation, or significant emotional distress related to their immigration circumstances. As a native Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of clinical assessment experience, I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed evaluations and clear, court-ready reports. I also provide individual telehealth therapy for adults facing anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

The hardest part of relationships often is being present with difficult emotions as they come up. The boogeymen of the past and the fears of the future stop us from staying present with our loved ones right now. I am here to support you while you move through the emotions that come up from understanding these experiences more. By working with your strengths, we will collaborate to practice and use skills to feel your emotions safely, build connection to your loved ones, and feel more empowered in your daily life.

Navigating life as a queer, bilingual (Spanish/English) Mexicana, I’m committed to uplifting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities with authenticity, empathy, and care. I provide culturally grounded support that honors each person’s story and values. I meet people where they are, offering a safe space for healing and growth. I also acknowledge that traditional mental health care is rooted in Western perspectives, so together we’ll work in ways that feel empowering, culturally aligned, and true to you.

I believe we all have inherent strengths and an innate life force. Sometimes difficult or life-changing experiences can sometimes obscure or disrupt our access to this vitality and flow, and we adapt. Have you tried “thinking” yourself out of feelings or internal states? My own journey led me to explore mindful and somatic based approaches. Clients often share that they “know” something to be true but do not always feel it to be so. I like to work with the mind, heart, body so that what wants to emerge… feels coherent. I take a collaborative, experiential, eclectic and integrative approach. What lights you up? What feels affirming?

Have you lost your way? Are you confused or stuck? Do you believe you feel too much or not enough? Have things stopped making sense or lost their meaning for you? Are you carrying baggage from your past, unable to transform it or let it go? Are you undergoing big changes and feel worried or afraid? Is your inner dialogue harsh and critical? Are you afraid to trust yourself and others? Do you feel isolated, unconnected and lonely? Life is filled with challenges and situations that overwhelm us. Our emotional lives can become confusing, and our experiences can trap us into patterns of beliefs and behaviors that diminish our powers.

We all want similar things: love, respect, understanding, empathy, dignity, support, belonging, & opportunity. Often, it is difficult to find people that hold space for another's whole-self & experiences. When differences in culture, identity, & life experience become an additional barrier to seeking help, gaining the coping & resiliency skills that are applicable to a unique experience can seem unattainable. Trauma, stress, & crisis compound these difficulties, calling for more of the social resources a person may not have access to. My goal is to help you navigate resourcing your needs and mental wellness.
