Welcome to the therapeutic journey.

I work with clients who are experiencing chronic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, self-sabotage, postpartum, and relationship challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the deep and often hidden impacts of complex trauma — the kind that comes from chronic, long-term experiences such as childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, illness, and adversity.

My work is grounded in compassion, safety, and collaboration. I meet each client exactly where they are on their healing journey. My work is guided by the core belief that you are worthy and deserve to thrive emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

Through mindful exploration and specialized care, we will work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy in both Spanish and English, from colloquial to professional levels. My work has included supporting individuals facing HIV/AIDS-related challenges, domestic violence, substance use, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnosis, sexuality-related concerns, aging-related issues, and the broader impact these experiences can have on families and support systems. Across community, academic, and clinical settings in Mexico and the U.S., I’ve built a strong foundation in helping people navigate both personal suffering and societal distress.

I have a bachelors in religious studies from the University of Kentucky. I grew up in Kentucky and moved to California to train in marital and family therapy. I am queer affirming and culturally-sensitive. I am sex-worker positive.

I am a dedicated mental health professional who supports children and adults through life’s challenges. I currently provide individual therapy only and do not offer couples counseling. My background in behavioral health and social services, along with hands-on community experience, has shaped my practical, compassionate, and solution-focused approach.

I have worked with individuals involved in the justice system, people living with serious mental illness, children in foster care, and families navigating behavioral or developmental concerns. My experience includes case management, crisis support, employment readiness, behavioral coaching, and coordinating care with medical providers, mental health facilities, and community programs to ensure consistent, long-term support.

I help clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, behavioral challenges in children and teens, parenting and co-parenting concerns, and reintegration after legal involvement. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I believe everyone has resilience and the ability to grow with the right support.

My style is warm, honest, and structured. I value accountability while always leading with empathy and respect. I focus on building coping skills, improving communication, setting clear goals, and developing practical strategies that support emotional balance and independence.

I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
