Great to meet you!

Welcome! As a Clinical Psychologist, I work with individuals who are in the process of self-discovery, experience relational issues, or are being affected by mood disorders, health problems, discrimination, grief/loss, and stress/trauma. I am bilingual (English & Spanish), and use trauma-informed, LGBTQ-affirming, multicultural, and humanistic frameworks.

My approach to therapy

I have diverse training and work experiences that allow me to work with multiple issues. I specialize in identity development, interpersonal and communication issues, mood disorders, and skills development to manage psychological concerns. I have been trained in various evidence-based therapies that specifically address mental health disorders.

What you can expect from me

Addressing symptoms, bringing insight, developing coping mechanisms, and creating lifestyle changes are some of the many goals in therapy. Ultimately, I want to empower you to live the life you envisioned. I hope my warm and compassionate approach will assist you in this healing and vulnerable process called therapy. I look forward to working with you!
