La vida se mueve en olas. Life moves in waves. I started Olas Therapy because I am passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, and families in navigating trauma, big emotions, and identity exploration with a holistic and personalized approach- helping clients ride life’s waves with resilience and connection. I provide services in Spanish and English, and I love working with kids of all ages. I am particularly interested in supporting caregivers in navigating parental challenges to foster a healthy parent-child relationship and promoting healthy sexuality across the lifespan.

My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, strengths-based, and grounded in science. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel supported and not judged. I have years of experience working with heavy trauma, complex family dynamics, and intense levels of shame. I am trained in evidence-based treatments to address trauma and sexual behaviors, and I love incorporating play and expressive techniques, when appropriate.

A healing therapeutic relationship is all about the right “fit.” I offer free 30 minute virtual consultations so we can get to know each other better. From there, we would typically schedule an assessment appointment where we would do a deeper dive on your experiences, your goals, and ways I can assist you in achieving those. I firmly believe you are the expert on your life. You're capable of your own healing. It's my role to support you on that journey.
