Great to meet you!

My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand navigating the medical system and supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in providing therapy to adults experiencing grief and loss. I also support clients experiencing relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and problems with self-esteem or personal growth. I approach therapy with compassion and curiosity.

What you can expect from me

I will get a detailed background and establish goals with you. Topics I bring up in session may include relationship/family dynamics, attachment styles, boundaries, history of losses/hardships, past experiences and their impact on you today, behavioral and thinking patterns, self-compassion, and coping.
