Throughout the years, I have found fulfillment and been able to form strong connections with adolescents and adults who are struggling with adjusting to current life stressors. As a first generation Latina, I understand how important it is to feel understood and how difficult it is to manage cultural norms that might be impacting our ability to reach our own healing. Wether it is previous or current trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, or family conflict, I believe that inviting me as a companion to walk alongside you to help make sense of your journey can lead you to find peace in the path you are on.

Do you find yourself plagued with disturbing, unwanted OCD thoughts and anxiety?

Do you find yourself engaging in repetitive checking, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance behaviors? Do you find that these behaviors give you momentary relief, yet ultimately make your symptoms worse?
