I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D.) offering telehealth services to adults in California, Florida, Virginia, and Michigan. My practice is a safe, inclusive, and culturally affirming space that helps you navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I specialize in supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including BIPOC, Afro-Latino, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent communities. By blending narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and solution-focused techniques, we will work together to break generational cycles and foster deep healing. If you are ready to reclaim your narrative and build lasting resilience, schedule our first session today.
Your first session is about establishing a safe, welcoming, and collaborative foundation. I understand that starting therapy, especially for the first time, can feel intimidating, so we will move at your pace. There is no pressure to share everything right away. Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your unique background and identities, and identify where you want your life to be in the coming months. This is a collaborative, conversational space where you are the expert on your life. You will leave this first session with a clearer understanding of how we will work together, a sense of relief from taking this courageous first step, and an "actions I can take right now" approach to start feeling better. Take that first step and book your session today.
The greatest strength I bring to our sessions is a deeply human, collaborative partnership grounded in cultural humility and real-world understanding. Having navigated my intersecting identities within the BIPOC, Afro-Latino, and LGBTQIA+ communities, I offer genuine empathy and a sense of safety that goes beyond traditional clinical training. My background in theater brings a unique, creative perspective to our virtual space, allowing me to connect with your emotional world without judgment. My approach stands out because I see you as a whole person, balancing compassionate emotional processing with practical tools that help you feel validated, empowered, and ready to thrive.
My ideal client is an adult navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or the lingering effects of psychological trauma. You might feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by daily stressors, or disconnected from your true self, yet you hold quiet hope and a willingness to collaborate toward a healthier future. As a bilingual clinical psychologist, I specialize in supporting individuals from diverse and historically marginalized backgrounds, including BIPOC, Afro-Latino, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism) communities. You do not need to have everything figured out before we begin. Whether your goal is to heal from past wounds, navigate systemic barriers, or build practical coping skills, we will work together at your pace. If you are ready to begin your healing journey in a safe, affirming space, let’s connect.
While I assess each client individually to tailor an integrative approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective tool I use to help you understand the connection among your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Rather than using a rigid formula, I blend CBT with narrative and solution-focused therapies to align with your unique life story and cultural background. Together, we will identify automatic, unhelpful thought patterns, such as anxiety-driven worries or self-limiting beliefs, and gently reframe them. By translating these insights into practical, real-world coping skills, you will gain the tools to manage daily stressors, break old cycles, and make conscious, positive changes. If you are ready to reshape your thoughts and reclaim your peace, schedule our first session today.
