Great to meet you!

I work with BIPOC neurodivergent adults experiencing burnout from over functioning and masking. Many of my clients are navigating competing responsibilities while managing stress, relational conflicts, and the complexities of trauma. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and strive to create a supportive, culturally responsive space where clients feel understood. My focus is on helping you build practical, sustainable strategies for lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I’m a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider offering neurodivergent-affirming care through a decolonial lens. Drawing from narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches, clients are empowered to embody their authentic identity, uncover patterns that keep them stuck, and build practical skills for sustainable change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will welcome you to co-create a focused, supportive process that helps you meet your goals. If you’ve been doing this alone, asking for help can feel vulnerable, but hyper-independence isn’t sustainable. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
