Hola! I am a bilingual therapist passionate about supporting my clients on their healing path. Since 2014, I have been offering services to adults who have experienced trauma in their lives and deal with intense emotions of sadness, fear, anger, worry, and low self-esteem that might be affecting their bodies and their health. I offer my clients a safe space to process their feelings and experiences, teaching them skills that can help them regulate their emotions, feel safe in their bodies, and improve their quality of life. I believe healing occurs by creating and promoting a safe therapeutic relationship.

I am continually amazed by the human capacity to grow, change, and flourish in the midst of personal and societal challenges. Particularly as we grapple with the developmental challenges that emerge throughout our lives. Circumstances such as new relationships, pregnancy and adoption, career changes, midlife shifts, retirement, and older age are all normal and create opportunities for growth. All of this can be stressful and we often need extra support in the midst of these experiences. In a counseling relationship with me, we will walk through this journey together, focusing our work on what brings joy and contentment to your life.

Through compassion, reflection and understanding patterns of behavior, I facilitate a collaborative process of identifying goals, working toward self-understanding, and ultimately actualizing changes that people desire.

Feel like an outsider in your own life?

The path to being unapologetically you is full of bumps and bruises, challenges from external judgment, and internal conflicts that can be exhausting. But it’s also where you find the real freedom, peace, and a sense of belonging that comes from embracing your full identity.
