With experience working with individuals across all stages of life— children, teenagers, adults, and seniors—I am deeply passionate about helping those who are grappling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and many other challenges.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in both Spanish and English, I understand that each person’s journey is unique, shaped by both past experiences and present circumstances. Our histories—often a tapestry of challenges and triumphs—can influence our behaviors, emotions, and perceptions in ways that sometimes feel overwhelming. However, it is important to remember that the way we feel today is not necessarily how we will feel tomorrow. The future holds the possibility of transformation, and often, all it takes is a decisive step toward healing and renewal.

I offer a safe environment for children, so that they can process their feelings and emotions.
Life is LOUD right now. Come explore with me in a quiet, judgment free and refreshing space. We will discuss what is keeping you from living your ideal life and start working towards being the best version of yourself. We can plan how to become more "unaware" of all that is keeping us from it, sometimes what we are focusing is actually the set back. Being hyper focused on things we can't change or control can cause the onset of anxious feelings, making us overwhelmed and stuck. Come explore with me in what could be a healing and sometimes funny atmosphere-I truly believe there can be humor in healing.

I enjoy working with many ages, including children, adolescents, and adults.
My job as a counselor is not to "fix" people or give advice, but to help people learn to "fix" the things in their life that are not working through education, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavior modification, and other therapy modalities. When something in our life is not working well, we need to make changes to become happier and more content.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
