Great to meet you!

I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and relationship stress. Many of my clients feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure how to express their needs without conflict. Because I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, I also love working with individuals and families who balance multiple cultures, navigate family expectations, or feel like they’ve always had to be the “strong one.” You don’t have to explain everything. My goal is to help you develop insight, strengthen your voice, and actually feel better — not just get by.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and skills-based.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, we will use evidenced based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to work towards your goals.
