  Helping you unlock your strengths and show up authentically in life

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use challenges? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, develop coping strategies, and work toward lasting change.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with experience in Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help you identify and build on your strengths. With 4 years experience as a therapist, I’ve worked with diverse individuals facing mental health challenges, co-occurring disorders, and life transitions. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, empowering process where you feel heard and supported. Whether you're looking for structured solutions or a space to process and heal, I’m here to guide you.

Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship issues, or simply feeling disconnected, I am here to help. My goal is to empower you to rediscover your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and live a more fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also a sign of strength. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your well-being, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to create a path forward that feels right for you.

Let’s connect—your path to healing starts here.

 As a bilingual, Hispanic/Latina therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals from all walks of life through their unique journeys of growth and healing. 

I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients. My approach is rooted in empathy, where every individual’s story is heard and valued. I offer a judgment-free environment where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences openly.

Therapy doesn’t have to be all serious—it can also be fun! I believe in bringing a lighthearted, creative approach to the process, allowing us to explore challenging topics in a way that feels engaging and accessible. Whether it's through creative exercises, humor, or simply taking a moment to appreciate small victories along the way, I make sure that therapy feels like a positive and rewarding experience.

Through evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I work collaboratively with you to understand and address the challenges you are facing. Whether you’re navigating relationship issues, emotional struggles, or past trauma, I am here to help you heal and move forward.

Together, we will build the skills and insight needed to face life’s challenges with resilience, self-compassion, and strength. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best life, and I am committed to walking with you through that process. 

Through my own experiences, I deeply understand how difficult it can be to navigate life’s challenges and I believe that therapy is an essential tool in breaking barriers and creating lasting change.
