As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a bilingual school psychologist, I am dedicated to helping preteens, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges, build self-awareness, and develop healthy coping strategies. Being Spanish-speaking, I connect with Hispanic/Latinx youth and families, providing culturally responsive support. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders, behavioral issues, family conflict, and depression. My approach is tailored to each individual’s needs, fostering growth and resilience.
Using evidence-based interventions like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients improve emotional regulation, decision-making, and overall well-being. I also collaborate with students, parents, and educators to create supportive environments.
If you or your child need guidance, I’m here to help. Let’s work together toward a healthier, more confident future.
