Great to meet you!

My passion is in treating people of Hispanic/Latino backgrounds to overcome the stigma of seeking mental health treatment. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, and self-esteem to restore a sense of happiness and fulfillment in their lives. Being a daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the challenges to this. Throughout my career as a social worker, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population and learn the skills to provide individualized, culturally competent care.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am supportive, empathic, and focus’ on clients’ strengths in order to help them overcome their issues. I like to provide constructive feedback, as well as challenge thoughts and behaviors to highlight patterns of behavior that keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles.

What you can expect from our first session

We will work together on making sure we work on your identified goals and tailor them to your growing needs. I like to provide a safe, nurturing space in order to engage my clients in the process of healing. Nothing is more important for me than to make sure my clients' feel comfortable, listened to, and respected. I am here to help guide you and develop the tools you need to become fulfilled in your life.
