I support children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem or emotional regulation. With experience in school-based and clinical settings, I understand how these concerns can show up across environments and impact daily life, relationships, and academic success. I’m especially passionate about working with youth and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I provide a supportive space to process experiences, including past trauma, build insight, and grow confidence in navigating life’s challenges.
I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT strategies, mindfulness, & social-emotional learning, while also incorporating creative & developmentally appropriate techniques. I support clients in processing past trauma at a pace that feels safe, helping them build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing in a way that feels meaningful
As a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care where clients feel respected, affirmed, and empowered. Whether you are seeking support for your child, your family, or yourself, I aim to create a warm, nonjudgemental space where healing, resilience, and lasting change can take place.
