I strive to provide a warm, empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where you can feel comfortable and supported to explore personal struggles at your own pace. I believe in a strong therapeutic relationship where we can work together to help meet your needs and ultimately gain the tools necessary to move forward. I utilize a non-judgmental, culturally competent, and holistic approach to therapy while incorporating evidence-based therapies. I am bicultural, bilingual and provide therapy in English or Spanish.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Client issues I have experience in supporting clients with are; anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, family/relationship conflict, development of coping skills. I am trained in EMDR therapy and also incorporate mindfulness, CBT, solution-focused or what best fits my client.

My goal is to support, validate, and guide you in this journey of growth and healing. I will listen to your needs and work with you to create or achieve goals. I look forward to working alongside with you on your journey.
