Great to meet you!

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW passionate about supporting adults, especially BIPOC, immigrants, and first-gen individuals as they navigate stress, anxiety, identity, and healing. With warmth and collaboration, I draw from CBT and strengths-based, trauma-informed care to help you feel empowered and seen.

My approach to therapy

Working with me means stepping into a space where you’re met with warmth, honesty, and respect. I show up as my full self; empathetic, culturally aware, and collaborative, so you can feel seen and supported as your full self, too. I’ll gently challenge you when needed, and we’ll work at a pace that honors your unique experiences and strengths. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. I tailor our work using approaches like CBT, strengths-based, and trauma-informed care to support your growth, healing, and goals.

What you can expect from me

I aim to create a safe, empathetic environment where you can explore your challenges.
