Great to meet you!

Hi! Hola! I am a bilingual Spanish-English licensed marriage and Family therapist based in California. I am passionate about helping adults, college students, graduate students, young professionals, new mothers and first-gen Latinx. I work best with people who are curious about learning more about themselves, discovering how one’s past and/or current traumas affect their present and willingness to embark on a healing journey.

My approach to therapy

I draw from several different lenses of practice, but all of them have a fundamental belief of placing importance on the therapeutic relationship: on connecting with you, creating a safe space for you, and for you to feel truly and deeply seen. I use an integrative approach to treatment, influenced by evidence-based, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, experiential, spiritual, and humanistic-existential theories.

What you can expect from me

I bring empathy and my authentic self to therapy. I work alongside you in helping identify the root of the issue and explore various ways to manage and heal. I serve not as an expert or someone with all the answers, but as a collaborative guide who values and deeply respects you and the wisdom you already possess.
