Therapy can take on many different forms and does not look like one particular method or strategy. My aim is to offer individuals and families the opportunity to create their own space, identify goals, and achieve them. My priority is providing clients with a space to explore experience, emotion, thought, and behavior safely and effectively.

I am a Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 33 years of experience working with clients of all ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds. As a LMFT, I have learned that to understand and help families, adults, adolescents, and children through emotional issues and crises, therapy is most effective when delivered within the family context. It is my belief that all families and individuals are their own experts, and as such, have unexplored resources and means. When effectively utilized, these resources help guide towards a mutually arrived solution.

As someone who has navigated the complexities of mental health and substance use disorders within my own community, I bring an intimately informed perspective to my practice. My experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of these issues—deepening my empathy and commitment to helping others. I know firsthand the impact these challenges can have on individuals and their loved ones, and I am dedicated to providing a supportive, non-judgmental space for healing & growth. My approach is rooted in compassion, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, fostering resilience, & empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

My goal is not to “fix” or make you “forget” your trauma or illness, but to support and help you navigate through it in a way that allows you to feel in control and confident in yourself.

Finding the right therapist for you, your child or your family is an intensely personal decision and there are a few things that might make me a good fit.
