Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, identity exploration, self-esteem, and relationship challenges for adolescents and adults. I help people who grew up in chaotic environments break unhealthy relationship patterns, heal from trauma, and build the peaceful, fulfilling life they've always wanted. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood, and I strive to build that relationship with every client. Whether you're navigating past trauma, overwhelming stress, or major life changes, we'll work together to develop practical coping skills, increase resilience, and help you move toward the life you want to create. My goal is not only to help you feel better but to help you better understand yourself, build lasting confidence, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

My approach to therapy

I believe in tailoring therapy to your goals and aspirations. The work we do together will always revolve around what's important and meaningful to you. My goal is to help you understand where you are right now and what you need to reach your life goals.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, I will ask you about your life goals and what you would like to get out of your therapy sessions. To get a full picture of who you are, I will ask a few basic questions about your physical and mental health history. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your challenges and vulnerabilities on a weekly basis.
