I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who understands that coming to therapy can be overwhelming. Recognizing the challenges of prioritizing mental health and the fear of sharing with someone new, I offer supportive care that blends directness and honesty with warmth. In our work together, I will bring a mix of understanding, humor, and genuine care, aiming to help you gradually discover and embrace your authentic self in a safe, supportive environment. My focus is on building genuine connections and fostering a trusting, non-judgmental space.
I use a client-centered, relational approach that integrates interpersonal psychodynamic therapy, embracing your individual experiences and perspectives. With extensive experience in community mental health and health centers, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including youth, adults, and families.
As a first-generation Latina fluent in Spanish, I’m passionate about serving communities of color and understanding their specific needs. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, navigating a life transition, seeking to set boundaries, or exploring how others perceive you, I’m here to help.
