My work supports those struggling with symptoms of anxiety, grief and loss, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, parenting, communication, and low self-esteem. My practice is inclusive, non-judgmental, culturally responsive, and affirming of LGBTQ+ communities. I offer services in English and Spanish. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; I earned a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I have worked with adults, children, families, and couples in different settings. I hope to join you in your current process and together increase self-awareness, unlearn unhelpful responses to triggers, and increase agency in your life. Whether it is a new stage in life, relationship issues, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, self-doubt, or something else, we can work towards improving your mental and physical health. On a personal note, I enjoy hiking, spending time with my family, and exploring new cities. I also enjoy visiting coffee shops, propagating plants, and photography.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Therapy is a process that may lead to new perspectives, behaviors, and attitudes. We will explore and reflect on different topics that align with the initial goals set at the beginning of therapy. At times, I will guide you to gently explore other areas to get to the root of the issue. Each session may bring new meaning and self-awareness. We will also work to develop tools and strategies to cope with the presenting symptoms/issues.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I incorporate a multicultural and social lens to help understand how we relate to the world, others, and ourselves. This can help us to understand, and ultimately, reduce the complex issues that present in intimate relationships, our attachment style, triggers, actions, mood, and other ongoing challenges. My approach works well for those experiencing the break up of a romantic relationship, grief and loss, or any other life transitions.
