Great to meet you!

I am an LCSW with 7 years of experience. I studied at Florida International University, obtaining my MSW in 2019. I have worked with a wide range of populations from children to the elderly. I believe all people deserve to live a life of dignity, joy, and peace, achieved through prioritizing their mental wellbeing.

My approach to therapy

I work with adults throughout the lifespan, specializing in trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and treating women. I offer you a space to be heard and process your emotions and experiences to help you gain greater agency over your life. I use a combination of approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, and solution focused work to guide my practice. As a Latina, I am particularly attuned to issues affecting the Latino community and am committed to reducing the stigma around seeking mental health support.

What you can expect from me

During our intake, I will review the therapeutic process, discuss confidentiality and HIPPA, and begin working with you on a plan to improve your mental health. We will review your presenting concerns and talk about setting goals (and it's okay if you don't have any yet). You will have an opportunity to ask questions about therapy and share any feedback. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling lighter and with a renewed sense of hope, which is also how you will know you are making progress.
