Great to meet you!

I am a Peruvian therapist that grew up in the city of Cudahy so I am grateful to be in position where I can provide services to communities I am passionate about. I received my education from UCLA and USC and my work is rooted in mental health, personal growth, radical self-care and self- esteem. I tailor treatment to each individual and offer a safe environment where I listen without judging you, motivate and engage you.​

My approach to therapy

I bring years of experience, good energy, and unique interventions with a charismatic personality.

What you can expect from me

A light first session to answer any questions and understand what is bringing you in. I understand how valuable it is to find someone you vibe with, having said that, my style and my approach IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I use an alternative & holistic approach when providing services. I help individuals navigate parenthood, ancestral healing, generational and inter-generational trauma as well as other conditions that affect our mood, thoughts, and behavior.
