Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health counselor who works with children, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, behavior challenges, school stress, and emotional difficulties. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when a child is struggling-whether it's academically, socially, or emotionally-and I'm here to help guide that process with care and clarity.

I create a safe, supportive space where children and teens feel heard while also working closely with parents to provide practical tools. I specialized in treating anxiety, school anxiety and school refusal, behavior problems and emotional regulation, ADHD-related challenges and focus, social skills and peer relationships

I also integrate Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and seek fulfillment in your life! I am looking forward in working with you to begin the healing process together!

My approach to therapy

My counseling approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
