Great to meet you!

With a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Washington, I’ve spent my professional journey supporting individuals in navigating through the complexities of mental health. My clinical focus includes substance use, mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and supporting those experiencing neurodivergence and borderline personality disorder.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Family-Based Treatment, and Emotion Focused Family Therapy among other modalities, ultimately tailoring care to meet each person’s unique needs.

What you can expect from me

I bring a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach to every interaction—grounded in proven practices and guided by the belief that healing begins with love, kindness, and respect toward oneself. I proudly represent my Latin heritage and fiercely advocate for every human’s rights, while honoring the importance of diversity, inclusion, and the strength found in community.
