Great to meet you!

I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults through trauma, anxiety, grief, and family challenges. I bring cultural humility to every session, especially for clients navigating identity, immigration, or generational expectations alongside their mental health.

My approach to therapy

I blend trauma-focused, attachment-based, and strength-based approaches to help you build on the resilience you already have. Therapy with me feels warm and collaborative — I want you to feel genuinely heard, never judged, as we work toward your goals together.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know each other. We'll talk through what brought you to therapy, your history, and your goals, so we can build a plan that actually fits your life — no pressure, just an open, honest conversation.
