Starting therapy can feel like a significant and courageous step. I congratulate you for considering this part of your healing journey. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard. As a resilient human being you have the capacity for change and growth, no matter the challenges you face. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing depression or anxiety I am here to support your healing process. Let's start the new year together!
I am a bilingual (Spanish-/English) Psychotherapist with 15+ years' experience working with individuals of various multicultural backgrounds, ages and genders who struggle with depression, anxiety, and other significant life events, such as grief, divorce, immigration, domestic violence, career shifts, trauma and women's life transitions.
I would love to hear what motivated you to seek therapy. Do not hesitate to reach out for a consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

I often use a holistic approach in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide ways to help you make progress. With a holistic approach, we'll understand how external and internal factors affect your mind, body and emotions as well as life experience. I'll help you develop skills to navigate challenges in a positive and constructive manner.
