Great to meet you!

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) marriage and family therapist serving individuals, couples, youth, and families, with warmth, creativity, and a touch of humor. As a therapist, I show up as a genuine person, not just a professional. "Disfruto trabajar con adolescentes, familias y parejas." Together, we’ll practice tools to help you navigate life more effectively and increase awareness of patterns that may be holding you back. At times, your thinking may be challenged, and difficult emotions may surface—but you won’t go through it alone.

My approach to therapy

I draw on systemic perspectives and evidence-based practices. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, or processing trauma, we will approach the work together at a pace that feels safe for you. Therapy isn’t magic; it’s courage, consistency, and conversation. With support, my goal is that you begin to feel truly seen, and as that happens, you’ll notice changes not only within yourself but also in how others respond to you.

What you can expect from me

The first session typically lasts 45–60 minutes. During this time, we’ll have the opportunity to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy, as well as what you hope to accomplish in our work together. I’ll also share a bit about myself, explain what you can expect from the therapy process, and answer any questions you may have. If you're ready to invest in yourself, text or email me & let’s work together toward creating the life and connections you want to build.
