As a first-generation Peruvian immigrant with Peruvian and Japanese roots, I understand how culture, family, identity, and the expectations we carry can shape the way we move through the world. My own experiences have deeply influenced the way I approach therapy and my commitment to creating a space that feels welcoming, collaborative, and approachable.
I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and offer therapy in both English and Spanish. My approach is warm, collaborative, and integrative. I draw from different modalities such as CBT, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood as a whole person, which means making space for your culture, identity, relationships, values, and lived experiences.
Reaching out for help is scary, and I I want therapy to feel like a place where you can feel supported and connect with yourself. I see therapy as a relationship first. I’ll offer support and compassion, but I’ll also encourage you to look at patterns, challenge beliefs that may no longer serve you, and take meaningful steps toward understanding your true self.
