Life truly begins to feel less meaningful & uncomfortable when we feel stuck in our existence. Do you struggle w/ disowning aspects of your own humanness? Healing is most possible when we can access our deepest places of knowing inside & honor what our heart already knows. My ‘deepest’ intention for my clients is that they feel safe, uplifted, & more closely aligned with their hearts’ true desires. I encourage clients to cultivate a genuine & authentic approach to life, regardless of earlier life experiences, beliefs, or messaging. Are you ready to take that inner journey of exploration & discovery, without having to do it alone?

Thank you for taking the first step towards healing! I have current availability for clients who are struggling with life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety or stressful life experiences. I am a bilingual English/Spanish therapist, so I welcome clients who may prefer a native Spanish speaker in this journey. While I welcome anyone to my practice, I also want to highlight the fact that I have over 10+ years of experience in the community working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. These experiences have offered me a unique lens and ability to remain compassionate around issues of acculturation and adaptation.
