(she/her)
My interest in the field of mental health began at a young age when I witnessed the way people sought my mother, a spiritual individual, for comfort and solace. These experiences imbued in me the value of community, empathy, and service to others. As a therapist, I am able to provide clients with the treatment and tools necessary to navigate difficult emotions and painful memories. My philosophy of care is to work alongside my clients while creating an empathic, non-judgmental, and safe space. Clients will find that I provide a warm, authentic, and respectful approach. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to identify and develop the tools necessary for clients to live more fulfilling lives.
Our first session is about getting to know client's better, identifying goals, and determining if we are a good fit.
As a therapist, I am able to navigate the balance of depth work with tools you can utilize today to improve distress and symptoms. Together we can identify patterns and cycles from childhood that are occurring now and lead to distress, while developing new ways to cope and manage emotions more effectively.
I attended California State University, Chico where I received two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Comparative Religion Studies. To broaden my knowledge and understanding of others, I chose to minor in Family Relations and Gender and Sexuality Studies. I received a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Latino/e/x from Santa Clara University. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing mental health services to monolingual Spanish-speaking patients. My areas of interest include issues related to acculturation stress, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
