Great to meet you!

If you find yourself unable to cope with difficult emotions, distressing thoughts, and tension in your relationships, psychotherapy may be the next step toward wellness. As a licensed (bilingual English/Spanish) clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, I have made it my life’s mission to decrease stigma related to the spectrum of mental health and promote healing and empowerment for the individuals and communities I serve.

My approach to therapy

As a trauma specialist, my goal is to help you feel more empowered and in control of your life by gaining insight on the past and building toward a sense of safety, authenticity, and balance in your future.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will explore what overwhelms you, makes you feel unsafe, or dis-empowers you. I will encourage you to be curious about yourself, embrace change, find balance, regain authenticity, and use your strengths to empower your life. We will collaborate to design an individualized treatment plan to meet your needs.
