Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first virtual session is all about getting to know you — your story, your goals, and what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what’s been going on in your life, explore what you hope to get out of our work together, and begin to build a foundation of trust and collaboration. You don’t need to have everything figured out — this is a judgment-free zone where we go at your pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, life transitions, athletic/performance concerns, or feeling burned out, I’ll work with you to clarify what you need from therapy and how we can get there together. You’ll receive a secure link to our video session ahead of time. All you need is a private, quiet space and a stable internet connection. If you're new to teletherapy, I’ll guide you through the process so it feels as smooth and comfortable as possible. By the end of the session, we’ll discuss a plan for moving forward, including how therapy might help, what approaches may be most useful (like CBT, mindfulness, or relational-cultural therapy), and how often we might meet. Whether you're feeling nervous, hopeful, or simply curious — you're not alone. My goal is for you to leave feeling supported, heard, and hopeful about your path ahead — no matter where you're logging in from.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strengths lie in creating a culturally affirming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be fully themselves. With over a decade of experience working with diverse populations — including student-athletes, Latinx clients, young adults, and high-achieving professionals — I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding to the therapy room. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, relational-cultural therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinician, I specialize in working with individuals navigating bicultural identities, life transitions, and performance-related stress. Clients often share that they feel deeply seen and empowered in our work together. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, performance, identity exploration, relationships, or emotional burnout, I bring warmth, insight, and practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and cultural identity concerns. My ideal clients are often high-achieving adults, student-athletes, or professionals who are motivated to grow but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Many are balancing performance with mental health, coping with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or navigating complex cultural or family dynamics. I work well with individuals who value a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach—especially those from Latinx or bilingual (Spanish/English) backgrounds. Whether you're managing stress, exploring your identity or looking to enhance your focus and emotional well-being, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your whole self is welcomed. I also integrate mindfulness-based techniques and body-oriented approaches for clients interested in holistic tools to manage stress, reconnect with themselves, or heal through movement. If you're ready to work together toward meaningful change, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
