I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my degree from Loyola University. I have 20+ years of experience working with adults in different therapeutic environments. In my practice, I like to create an ambiance of empathy where clients who have suffered traumatic events in their lives may find a place of refuge and healing. In addition, I assist persons to find purpose beyond trauma and discover their own strengths to build resilience.

We all possess the ability for healing, growth, and self-development. Sometimes our efforts toward improvement need helpful nudges. As a therapist, I hope to join you on your journey in the here and now, walking alongside you, the challenges you face, and the growth you hope to experience. Of course, self-healing can be done alone, yet sometimes a therapist can be a helpful addition.

If you've experienced trauma that caused you to suppress, avoid, and close yourself off from the world - to deny your needs & make yourself small - I feel you. I tried coping with trauma by turning against myself, and it only increased the shame and isolation. I'm sure there's a part of you who is curious about finding another way, who realizes you are more than your struggles. Together, we can experiment with changing your relationship to your anxiety, OCD, trauma, and identity concerns, so you can reconnect with what you need to live a rich and fulfilling life.

Our bodies carry a multitude of experiences, memories, and traumas. Sometimes the things our bodies carry start to impact us in ways we never expected. As a bicultural, bilingual Mexican American therapist I am aware of the various barriers that may stop us from engaging in our own healing journey. For this reason, I have a passion for working with clients who are navigating the pressures and expectations that come along with being first-generation, transitions throughout the perinatal period, breaking generational trauma and clients who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.

Feeling disconnected, like you’re lost in the fog, unsure where you are headed. It feels like something big’s missing, but you can't put your finger on it. Where is my clarity? What is my purpose? Where’s my peace? Daily grind, old wounds, personal emotional and mental battles. They’re weighing you down. Life’s got you drained. Its too much. You’re spinning around in circles, looking for guidance, but don’t know where to turn. You don’t need someone just spitting solutions at you; you’re after something deeper, something much greater. A true way to reconnect with your core on a new evolved spiritual level.

¡Hola! First of all, I commend you. It takes courage to take the steps to care for your mental health. As a proud Latinx woman, I understand the stigma that comes with engaging in mental wellness services in our community. The truth is, there is nothing to be ashamed of. We can all benefit from some support every once in a while. Most importantly, you don't have to do it alone.
