Great to meet you!

I am a psychotherapist with several years of experience supporting young people from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood while helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I also provide therapy in Spanish and value culturally responsive care that honors each person’s background and lived experience.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, curious, and empowering. I view therapy as a space where we work together to better understand your experiences while building practical tools for change.

I draw from evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to your needs. In our work together, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, and build confidence.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’ve been struggling with, and what you’re hoping to gain. There is no pressure to share everything at once, and we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

By the end, we’ll begin identifying goals and next steps so you can leave with a clearer sense of direction.
