I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing out of the Los Angeles area. For more than a decade, I have supported clients and families across diverse communities. I also serve as a Clinical Trainer in a Los Angeles university setting, where I provide education on trauma, resilience, and well-being.
You are the expert in your own life, and therapy is always client-centered and collaborative. I use my training and experience to help you regulate emotions, strengthen coping, and build resilience while navigating life’s challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded by how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, to support both well-being and performance.
I work gently to create a comfortable and inclusive space in both Spanish and English. I blend compassion with directness, reflection with practical tools, and evidence-based care with respect for your strengths, pace, and goals. My aim is for you to feel understood, supported, and actively helped in session.
Therapy should feel safe, respectful, and affirming. I value providing culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, and I work with adolescents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. I also work well with athletes and student-athletes who are navigating pressure, identity shifts, performance-related stress, injury recovery, or transitions in school, sport, and life.
Therapy goals are always client-led. My role is to help you better understand patterns, build effective skills, process difficult experiences safely, and make meaningful progress toward the changes that matter most to you.
