I have worked in the mental health field for over 7 years. I have worked with young children, teens, adults, and older adults. I have experience treating trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, and postpartum depression/anxiety. I utilize a combination of client centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I believe that in order to find the root of your symptoms, you need a safe place to do so. My main goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my patients. Patients will not allow themselves to go to a vulnerable place if they do not feel safe.

I also enjoy working with college students and young adults as they navigate their journeys in relationships, finding their place in their careers and getting their lives on track.
If you are feeling stuck in your relationship, career, family role, or struggling with a life transition and are unsure of how to move forward, I can help. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to explore your emotions, experiences, and challenges and help you on your journey toward finding personal fulfillment. I use a person centered approach where I integrate Strengths Based, Mindfulness, and CBT techniques that are tailored to your specific needs. I have experience working with individuals and families from a range of backgrounds having trouble adjusting to life challenges.

In my work, I help adults, couples, teens, and athletes with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, and self-doubt. I also assist with issues related to family, performance, relationships, and racial issues. Its been my experience that most people either have a clear idea of where they want to go or are in the process of figuring it out. I team up with people to help them pinpoint their goals and construct a bridge that will allow them to reach those goals. We build the bridge by increasing our insight & self-awareness, and we move across the bridge by working through pain and overcoming obstacles to growth and healing.

As an experienced licensed professional, I believe that in order to experience growth and development one must commit to the process by being open minded and consistent. I specialize in working with individuals (adolescents and adults) who are experiencing anger, depression, anxiety, family issues, and conflicts at home and at the workplace. We will work together through the process and rest assured, you will be doing this in a non-judgmental environment with ample support. While none of us can change the past, we can learn from it and make thoughtful, positive decisions that will shape our future.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.
Out of a place of struggle or hopelessness, much can be discovered and learned. Having a witness to your life who listens without judgment can help remove barriers, so you are in a more hopeful place. There will be ups and downs through the therapeutic journey, and I am here to support you, as you develop awareness and understanding in order to make healthy choices. I will listen to your stories, perhaps offer a different perspective, practice coping skills, and help you discover how you can participate in your hopes to make them happen.

Young adults and couples often come to me seeking help with communication and strategies to better manage the curve balls life throws. We all have ups and downs and those downs can come with a lot of pain. I am passionate about helping clients gain insight, create healthier relationships, and navigate difficult life transitions. Being of Hispanic descent and speaking Spanish fluently allows me to provide services in Spanish as well as connect with culturally sensitive topics that can come up during sessions.

I enjoy working with adults and women who are looking to be healthier mentally and develop skills to manage cognitive and emotional stresses and responses. An intention that I have is to aid clients in healing the relationship with themselves, whether because of experiences in childhood, unhealthy relationships or other significant life events that clients have encountered. All of these experiences can complicate the relationship with ourselves, but with a safe and supportive space like therapy, we can learn to grow, heal and repair.

I have experience working with a variety of presenting problems but especially enjoy working with children and young adults.
Life can be so challenging that we doubt that change and overcoming adversity is possible. Despite what circumstances of your life or the doubtful voice inside might be telling you, or the self critic inside - change is possible! I believe that therapy is a place to explore the thoughts and feelings behind some of those doubts that might be keeping you "stuck" in the belief that change or healthier habits aren't possible. I believe that past experiences shape one's story, but those experiences do not have to define an individual. With increased awareness and use of coping skills, you can improve your overall quality of life.

As a therapist, I would describe myself as empowering, passionate, & intuitive. My approach to therapy is influenced by how societal norms and expectations make you feel like you have to limit or repress your uniqueness and your authentic self. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment where you can liberate your inner child through honoring your cultures and dismantling oppressive systems. One of my strengths as a therapist is my dedication as your personal advocate. I often work with the 1.5 immigrant generation and young adults from marginalized communities who are coping with loneliness and exhaustion from the world.
