Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed psychotherapist with many years of experience helping people break cycles of burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. I bring a mix of professional expertise and genuine warmth, so you can feel both supported and challenged in the right ways. As a bilingual, Latina therapist, I understand the unique challenges of navigating two cultures and breaking intergenerational patterns. Therapy with me is culturally responsive and inclusive. If you are struggling and are ready for change, call or email me. I understand you. I offer evening appointments. You do not have to struggle alone. I am here for you.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you.

I blend evidence-based strategies with genuine, so you not only learn practical coping skills, but also begin to feel more grounded, capable, and hopeful about your future. Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about empowering you to live authentically and with confidence. That first step can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

What you can expect from me

I customize my treatments according to what you need. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With this approach, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
