Great to meet you!

¡Hola! Hello! I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered through a person-centered approach.

I draw on evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem challenges, and relationship or family conflict.

With warmth and compassion, I meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they work toward growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

Starting therapy is a big step, and I understand it can sometimes feel overwhelming. My approach is to meet you where you are, creating a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and respected. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns—with compassion and evidence-based care.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I’ll ask a few questions to learn about your needs and goals, and together we’ll begin shaping a plan that feels supportive and personalized for you.
