Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual mental health professional, fluent in both English and Spanish, with over 10 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Rehabilitation, and a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience supporting individuals with a variety of mental health needs, combining a strong clinical foundation with a compassionate, person-centered approach to care. My fluency in Spanish allows me to provide culturally responsive support and connect with both English- and Spanish-speaking clients.

My approach to therapy

I am a warm, easygoing, and compassionate therapist who strives to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported. I am culturally competent and sensitive to the diverse backgrounds, values, and experiences that shape each client’s perspective. I am skilled in comprehensive clinical interviewing, trauma-informed care, and symptom assessment, with experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and couples’ concerns. I also provide immigration mental health evaluations, offering thorough, culturally responsive assessments and professional documentation to support clients throughout the immigration process.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and creating a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you while beginning to identify goals and a path forward.
