Great to meet you!

I am a warm, empathetic, and eclectic therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through healing and growth. As a bilingual, trauma‐informed Latina clinician, I specialize in working with teens and adults (13+) navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, immigration‐related stress, and women’s issues. My approach centers on creating a safe, culturally attuned space where your story is honored and your strengths guide the path towards healing.

My approach to therapy

My practice is practice from an integrative, client‐centered framework that allows me to adapt to each person’s developmental stage, emotional capacity, and lived experience.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, clients will find a compassionate, client‐centered space where their feelings are honored, their space is respected, and their healing is supported with empathy and presence.”
