I am a bilingual, bicultural, second-generation Chicana with over ten years of experience working with diverse individuals, families, and communities. I provide individual therapy to adults 18+ and family therapy to adult children and their parents/relatives. I focus my practice on Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC). I am particularly interested in working with children of immigrants, immigrants, and members of the fat and LGBTQ+ communities.

I like to view my role as a therapist as being like a gardener who is planting seeds of change and growth. My goal is to help you flourish and blossom into the best version of yourself. I utilize a variety of different approaches to therapy because one approach won't be the right fit for each person. I support clients in developing healthier thought patterns and behaviors through cognitive-behavioral techniques. I also incorporate an attachment lens and explore how our past relationships affect our present ones. I will work together with you to develop goals for your therapy and ensure you are getting the best care you deserve.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or mental illness that may have contributed to problematic substance use. I am passionate about working with individuals who want to grow and change their lives. I push back against the stigma society attaches to mental illness and substance use, championing the belief that we all do the best we can to survive and connect with others. At the same time, I recognize that the coping skills we develop are not always sustainable and can cause other problems in our lives.

Immediate availability. You've carried the weight of your struggles alone for far too long. The mere thought of reaching out for help, expressing your needs, and acknowledging your worth as a person feels like an insurmountable hurdle! Anxiety and depression seem to have a firm grip, distorting your perspective. Navigating through emotions has become a labyrinth, and anger simmers beneath the surface. The pressures of life have left you seeking effective stress management strategies. Self-esteem feels elusive, and issues related to masculinity and femininity weigh heavily on your shoulders. Perfectionism has crushed self-acceptance.

Life is hard. That’s pretty clear. But it’s made all the more difficult for those who are autistic, carry trauma, or are within the LGBTQIA+ community. The difficulty is unique. Whether it’s having an invisible disability, not being able to trust others, or fighting for acceptance, the ability to navigate life can be challenging. There’s hope. And I can help. Together we will work through the stories you’ve been taught, the expectations you’ve had to meet, and the experiences that brought you further and further from yourself.

I work with teens and adult individuals who are processing trauma, exploring their personal identity, and building self-esteem. I love helping clients who are collaborative, who seek a curious conversation in which to explore relationships—with themselves, with others, and with ideas. My primary role in the therapeutic relationship is that of co-author rather than teacher, and I enjoy working with folks who are interested in finding their own approaches to problems with support from their communities, which may not look "cookie cutter."

You are considering divorce and fear how it will affect your children. Or you're divorced and met someone and want to blend your families, but are worried about the difficulties that blending brings. These family transitions are full of significant challenges such as grief over the breakup of the family, confusion over stepparent roles and responsibilities, hostile co-parenting relationships, jealousy of ex-spouses or stepchildren, and more. You want happy and healthy relationships with partners, exes, children, and stepchildren. You hope for a sense of "we-ness" as a new family unit and crave peace and balance in the future.

Current openings for Mondays and Fridays! I believe each person is doing the best they can with what they have, and have a passion for working with those who wish to learn how to best use their strengths effectively to reach their goals. I enjoy working with adults seeking to learn more about themselves, including the patterns that may have stopped working for them. Few things feel more honorable than sitting with those who are open to challenge themselves, while honoring their needs, wants and goals. I love working with those with the desire to continue growing through every chapter of life.

I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship conflicts, trauma, and addiction. My passionate and synergistic approach helps clients reflect on their physiological, emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns, which help them live and form their inner world. I collaboratively explore these patterns to create purpose and empowerment while bringing about healthier ways of relating to others, the world, and oneself. One of the greatest human pursuits is to "know thyself," I want to help everyone deepen their understanding of the beauty, mystery, and power within each person.
