I’m happy you’re here! I believe that healing takes place in relationship. My therapeutic approach is reflective, humanist, and conversational. I work through Relational-Cultural, Feminist and Person-Centered theoretical frameworks. We will work together to create a space of healing that is non-judgmental and grounded in self-directive, goal-oriented, and strengths-based work. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to the therapeutic relationship, so our work together will be tailored to best address your needs as you identify them.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culturally competent therapy, as well as the battles that the Latino community faces in society and stigma towards mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for me to understand your culture and diversity factors to have a better sense of who you are as a person in hopes that together we can explore ways in which I can help you reach your therapy goals. Throughout my years of practice, I have seen how different issues and symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress can weigh a person down; and obstruct the individual's ability to deal with the present moment.

Everyone believes you have it all together. The truth is it’s getting harder to get by. Despite your achievements and strengths, you can’t tune out the voice that says, "I'm not good enough". You put yourself last and are often your own worst critic. You're exhausted. You want to build your confidence and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You want to set boundaries without the guilt and anxiety. You're ready to make changes but not sure how to start.

I specialize in trauma work from an attachment-based lens, focusing on parental, family and generational traumas. Your brain and body are not just connected but are a single system- your nervous system. This is why your body also carries trauma and stress. I integrate somatic/body-based therapies to help with managing strong emotions, numbness and dissociation. Learning how to ground yourself, both feel and regulate your emotions, and form healthy attachments in your relationships can be life-changing. Trauma can change your brain and your connection to your body, but we’ve proven healing to be equally powerful.

I offer counseling for children (ages 4-10), adolescents (11 to 17), and their families. Together, we will identify goals and strategies that can alleviate emotional distress and improve behavior. I work with school counselors and teachers to strengthen the student's support system. I also work with couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties. At times, improving communication may seem to be the solution, and other times, the relationship may need deeper exploration to understand the dynamics that may be contributing to the relationship difficulties. I also offer individual counseling.

I help people achieve healing and wellness in their lives by focusing on positivity and internal strengths. I believe the mind and the body connect and affect one another. This is why I believe therapy can help people who are feeling overwhelmed with big emotions, having difficulties with life transitions, struggling with past traumas, feeling anxieties over the future, repair or create healthy connections or relationships with others and obtain inner peace.

Welcome! I am a bilingual art therapist who is passionate about serving the well-being of our communities. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand the stressors that minorities face as we navigate the challenges of living and working in a society that is embedded in systemic oppression. I work from an intersectional and culturally-informed framework, exploring how experiences and narratives are impacted by dynamics of power, privilege, and other social factors. As a trained art therapist, I also use movement, art, the senses and other therapeutic modalities to explore your personal goals and to help lessen any symptoms.
