Utilizing a holistic approach, I specialize in treating Black women experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
Tired of being tired? I get that. Always having to be strong can be exhausting. Overwhelmed, excessive worry, lack of interest, irritability, and procrastination are just a few things I hear from Black women in therapy. Together in therapy we can address those feelings and work towards your goals and improved mental health.

I approach the healing arts with the outlook that we’re more able to embrace life when we can traverse our inner world with compassion, self-acceptance, and at least a little bit of humor. Any day is a good day to make a change, even a small one. My journey into Chinese medicine grew out of a longstanding fascination with the relationship between psychology and physiology, along with a love for ancient ways of looking at human nature. In my practice, I work with a broad scope of health imbalances, with special attention on digestion, emotion, and women’s health.

These last few years have been really hard on our Bodies. So many of us feel disconnected from ourselves. Your Body deserves to take up space - the world needs your voice and your story. My goal is that my clients can find a place to rest in our work together and to be authentically themselves. My specializations are in working with teenagers and young adults who may be neurodivergent, exploring gender identity and/or sexual orientation, healing from complex childhood trauma, and/or religious trauma, or looking to heal their relationship with food and their Bodies. I approach therapy from an anti-diet and fat-positive approach.

At times it may feel as though our power in our lives has been taken from us. Stress, life transitions, family issues, relationships, and many other factors can play a large role in making us feel anxious, depressed, and not living to our fullest potential. If you relate to this, therapy can help you find your power again. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who have experienced a myriad of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and anger. My passion is helping girls and women reach their fullest potential and overcome challenges through empowerment.

We spend most of our time talking to ourselves. In therapy, we explore that narrative to help you feel more at peace. It is hard at first and once you find your confidence, you will notice significant changes in how you interact with yourself and the world; AND how the world interacts with you! I work with people who want a trusting and collaborative relationship built over time. I use a holistic and multicultural approach to better understand your unique experiences and provide treatment that is effective and ethical.

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.
