Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting parents, Latinx families, and first-gen individuals navigating life transitions. I specialize in perinatal mental health, postpartum anxiety, identity shifts, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow, just as you are.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me feels warm, collaborative, and grounded in your lived experience. I focus on building trust and creating a space where you don’t have to explain every piece of who you are. I use a mix of practical tools, emotional insight, and culturally responsive care to support you in making meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to feel heard, respected, and gently guided toward clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll explore what’s heavy, reconnect you with your strengths, and build skills that support your daily life and emotional well-being. My hope is for you to leave sessions feeling a little lighter and more grounded each time.
