Great to meet you!

I'm an identity affirming Licensed Clinical Social Worker and former TransFronterizo student. I'm from Tecate, Mexico where I have lived the duality of existing within bilingual and bicultural communities, while navigating complex systems. I am driven to be an ally to everyone’s journey in building a strong and stable mental health foundation so that they can move through the world with an empowered sense of self.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a generalist perspective that is adapted to every client’s individual needs. I understand that every person is embedded in a set of unique circumstances. These unique circumstances are recognized in session so that therapy can be an effective source of support to address any challenges.

What you can expect from me

I hope to celebrate each client’s individual strengths, unique perspective, and their voices during sessions. All to achieve a goal of mental health wellness and a personal sense of empowerment. I can assure you that sessions will be a safe place for every client to be their authentic selves and express themselves safely.
