Great to meet you!

Hi there! I'm a Bi-lingual (Spanish speaking) licensed clinical social worker with a passion for person-centered care. I’ve worked with individuals struggling with everyday stressors to more severe psychiatric diagnosis. Regardless, of what you’re looking for, I tailor each treatment uniquely for you. As a private practitioner, I strive to balance empathy with direction, our work will focus on helping you build insight, confidence, and actionable strategies.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is both client-centered and goal-oriented. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I used DBT, TF-CBT, CBT & other modalities to clarify what matters most to you and identify meaningful goals that guide our work.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will go through brief introductions and then dive into getting to know you a little better. You are free to open up as much or as little as possible. The main question being "What brings you to therapy today?"
