Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I’m a proud first-gen daughter of two Mexican immigrant parents. It is my priority to offer culturally responsive, social justice-oriented, LGBTQ+-affirming therapy services that serve the unique needs of each client and celebrate all.

I hold space for folks who are navigating trauma, having complex dynamics with self and others and who are trying to break cycles.

My approach to therapy

I believe the best healing is done in relationships, which can be done through the client-therapist relationship or by bringing family members together. I utilize my understanding of navigating two-different cultures to help clients cope with cross-cultural conflicts. I am committed to exploring with you in therapy how systems/norms are impacting your mental health. In therapy, we will examine these stories, find inner resilience, and strengthen relationships.

What you can expect from me

Our first session you will have the opportunity to ask questions you might have and share what you feel most comfortable. We will discuss your goals that you would like to achieve.
