Great to meet you!

I’m a bilingual, multicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who supports adolescents, teens, parents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. If you or your child is struggling, or if your family is feeling the stress of anxiety, behavior concerns, school challenges, grief, life changes, or family conflict, I’m here to help.

I also support clients who are dealing with the effects of abuse, including painful memories, anxiety, and past experiences that still feel present today.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, supported, and understood.

I work with clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, anger, stress, ADD/ADHD, school issues, grief, loss, and family challenges. Together, we focus on understanding what is going on, building practical tools, and creating a path forward that feels helpful and realistic.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and talking through your concerns. You will have space to share what has been happening, what feels most important right now, and what kind of support you are looking for. Together, we can begin creating a plan of action that is clear, thoughtful, and tailored to your needs.
