Hablo Español

Have you been carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or life’s transitions alone? You don’t have to anymore. As a first-generation, bilingual therapist, I deeply understand the unspoken challenges of being an immigrant child—balancing two cultures, navigating family expectations, and feeling the pressure to succeed. These early experiences shape how we form relationships, manage emotions, and view ourselves. If you find yourself repeating patterns of self-doubt, guilt, or emotional exhaustion, I’m here to help. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and break free from generational cycles.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in working with adults, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, identity struggles, cultural expectations, and relational challenges. Whether you're processing childhood trauma, struggling with disconnection in relationships, or feeling overwhelmed by stress and burnout, I provide culturally affirming, trauma-informed therapy that meets you where you are. My approach is warm and collaborative, integrating evidence-based techniques, mindfulness, and a deep understanding of how culture shapes our emotional world.

What you can expect from our first session

If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and a brighter future, I encourage you to reach out. I offer a confidential and compassionate space where you can begin your journey of self-discovery and growth. Contact me today to schedule a consultation.

Therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I strive to create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where we can explore your past, make sense of present challenges, and build a more fulfilling future. Sessions are virtual, flexible, and tailored to your needs, making therapy accessible no matter where you are in Illinois, Indiana, or Texas. You deserve support that truly honors your experiences. Schedule a consultation today, and let’s take the first step toward your healing.
