Hi! I am a bilingual social worker offering therapy in English and Spanish for children, adolescents, and adults. I know how important it is to feel understood and supported in the language and style that feels most natural to you. I use a patient-centered, trauma-focused, culturally competent approach to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore emotions, build strengths, and feel truly heard. My experience includes working with middle and high school students in a school setting, as well as in medical settings with children, teens, and young adults.

My specialties include working with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, suicidality, self-harm, self-esteem challenges, and LGBTQ+ issues. Therapy should feel welcoming, empowering, and safe, which is what I strive for in all my sessions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice as well as patient-centered, trauma-informed, and empowering skills and tools. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and get to know each other to figure out together what would be the best approach. During treatment, we will work as a team to make you feel better and more confident.
