Great to meet you!

Are you caring for children while supporting aging parents, navigating grief, or adjusting to a major life change? I support adults, couples, and families in the Sandwich Generation through grief, life transitions, and family changes. I also work with people facing trauma, end of life experiences, and changing family roles. As a first generation Mexican American woman with more than 10 years of experience in mental health and geriatric care, I create personalized support that builds on your strengths, resources, and goals. Together, we can find practical ways to move through change with more clarity and support.

My approach to therapy

Sessions are a space where you can feel heard, respected, and safe to be yourself. We will talk openly about what you are carrying, make room for your emotions, and build a plan that feels realistic for your life. I bring warmth, creativity, and compassion while honoring your pace and the experiences that shaped you.

What you can expect from me

Our work can help you strengthen emotional resilience, care for yourself without guilt, and feel more confident during life changing moments. You can build practical tools for managing stress, grief, and family responsibilities while reconnecting with hope. My goal is for you to feel more secure in your ability to move forward and pursue what matters to you.
