(she/her)
Hello, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping first-generation Latinas heal from trauma, manage anxiety, and break free from patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally affirming. I integrate EMDR and person-centered therapy to help clients process difficult experiences, build healthier boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. *I've chosen to center my practice on the healing needs of women and the LGBTQIA+ community. I do not currently work with cisgender men, minors, or court-involved clients in order to preserve alignment with my clinical roots*
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current concerns, relevant life experiences, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and comfortable showing up as yourself. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and creating a path forward that feels meaningful to you.
I bring a combination of clinical expertise, cultural understanding, and genuine compassion to my work. As a first-generation Xicana therapist, I understand the unique challenges that can come with balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal growth. I am trained in EMDR and use a trauma-informed approach to help clients move beyond survival mode and create lasting change. Clients often appreciate that I am both supportive and direct, helping them gain insight, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in themselves.
I work best with Latina women who are carrying the invisible labor of breaking cycles while trying to find themselves. My ideal clients are navigating complex family roles, identity wounds, grief, anxiety, or trauma. They’re ready to stop performing, start healing, and come home to themselves. If you’re ready to unpack what no longer serves you and reconnect with your voice, I’m the therapist for you.
