Great to meet you!

I've been serving my community for 30 years, and private practice is something I've always wanted to do. I'm Hispanic, and I believe there's an unspoken history between people who share a culture, one that makes it easier to open up and make real progress. If you want a therapist who understands where you come from, I'd love to meet you.

My approach to therapy

I've spent my career with children, teens, and families. I worked for six years as a crisis clinician, meeting people on some of their hardest days and figuring out what kind of care they needed. I've run evidence-based groups for young people involved with the courts, and for more than a decade I've supported foster families. So whether you're a parent worried about your child, a teen who's having a hard time, or an adult whose world just got turned upside down, we'll build a treatment plan together and work it at a pace that fits your life.

What you can expect from me

Sessions are by video, so you can join from home. When we first meet, I'll ask about you, your family, and what's brought you to this point, and we'll talk about what you'd like to change. You'll leave feeling understood by someone who respects your culture and your story.
