My approach to counseling integrates evidence-based techniques, including Rogerian (person-centered therapy), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support client-centered change.
Implementing a client-centered and trauma-informed, I support clients on their mental health journey through empathic understanding, empowerment, and a belief in their ability to evolve and heal. I value cultural humility, a lifelong process that involves acknowledging my limitations as a counselor, suspension of judgment, meeting clients where they are, and respecting diverse experiences and points of view.

As a young Latina I found there to be a gap in providers that may face specific prejudices, discriminations, and trauma. I have made it my own mission to be a resource for these populations in high demand. Through working with various age groups, I acknowledge that life altering events can occur at any point in time. I strive to create a person-centered space of empowerment to surpass these major life stressors. I believe everyone deserves a safe space where they can genuinely express themselves through their internalized battles.

Waitlist for new clients
My primary modality is Person-Centered Therapy; you will be driving your own treatment.
You're LGBTQIA+, large-bodied, or managing chronic illness and enduring depression, anxiety, or PTSD. You're a therapist dealing with burnout or mental/physical illness. Intersecting identities, oppression, and health issues are complex. You can't waste precious energy on an ignorant therapist or risk prejudice. Therapists are likely feeling stretched or burned out under converging life and work stressors. Others assume we have it handled and we feel we should too. If any of this resonates with you, as your new therapist, I GOT you! These specialties align with my life experiences and identity. Let's hit the ground running!

My therapeutic approach is based in person centered, feminist, and occasionally Jungian schools of thought.
I work primarily with girls gays and theys ages 55 and under who are coping with depression, anxiety, spiritual transitions, the perinatal life phase and neurodivergence. Many clients who I work with are seeking to heal generational patterns. I see therapy as a tool to build a better relationship with the self.

The foundation of my approach is Person-Centered Therapy which involves putting high importance on building a trusting, understanding and safe therapeutic relationship and empowering the client to finding their own answers in the way that feels most natural to them.
I strongly believe that therapy is co-created between client and therapist. While I am trained in the process of counseling, the client is the expert in their own experiences. I believe that the combining of these expertise is what creates meaningful therapy and lasting change. I am passionate about creating an environment where my clients feel safe to be their most authentic self and know that their experiences are truly heard. Therapy can already be such an intimidating and overwhelming undertaking – so I strive to show cultural humility and provide a non-judgmental space where we can focus on the true goals at hand.

I would love to help you create more flexibility and creativity in your relationships to self and others. We'll do this through mindfulness, somatic attention, and moment-to-moment curiosity. I listen to the stories you tell and how you tell them. Attention to posture and sensation helps us see body narratives, and observation of speech patterns and words provides clues about mental and emotional themes. Eventually new stories and possibilities appear as we interrupt worn out messages and invite new meanings. You will learn emotion regulation, self-advocacy, boundary-setting, and increased creative resilience.

I believe that the root of therapy is about finding connection to the self, and through that, more deeply connecting to others and the world. As a therapist, I work to cultivate a space where you feel witnessed, deeply supported, and celebrated. My approach to working with clients is relational, strengths-based, exploratory, and collaborative. In our work together, we will explore what it means to be human and the suffering that comes with it, examine the narratives and beliefs you hold about yourself, delve into what brings meaning to your life, and reflect and process past wounds in an effort to move towards healing.
