I'm a licensed psychologist with advanced fellowship training at Stanford University. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, specializing in trauma-focused therapies, insomnia, nightmares, and chronic pain. My approach is collaborative and practical. I am interested not only in understanding what you are experiencing, but also in what keeps those difficulties going and what we can do differently together.
Expect warmth, curiosity, openness, and a sense of humor. I will listen carefully, and I will also challenge you when it might be helpful. Sometimes we will laugh, sometimes we will sit with uncomfortable truths, and sometimes I will send you home with something to try.
Having immigrated to the United States, I know that change can involve questioning what we believe about ourselves and discovering strengths we did not know we had. That experience has shaped how I approach therapy, with an appreciation for identity, resilience, and the many ways we grow.
