Get to know me

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

In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. Don’t stress if it’s your first time—I actually love working with therapy newbies because I get to set the bar pretty damn high! I’ll walk you through how therapy works, go over expectations and policies, and start exploring what’s bringing you in. No pressure to spill it all at once—we’ll go at your pace, and I’ll make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I’ve been in the mental health game since 2010 and shifted into clinical therapy in 2019, stacking up over 3,200 hours of supervised training along the way—so yes, I know my stuff. But don’t expect a stiff, clipboard-holding therapist who acts like they’ve got it all figured out. That’s not my vibe. I’m casual, real, and I like to keep it light when I can. Talking to me is more like chatting with your homegirl—someone who truly listens, keeps it 100, and makes space for both deep convos and a few laughs. I’m all about creating a chill, judgment-free zone where you can show up exactly as you are.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is a someone who is navigating life transitions, cultural expectations, and the weight of mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, burnout, or feeling lost. You might be in your early 20s trying to figure out adulthood without much guidance, a 30-something year-old balancing work, family, and everyone else's needs before your own, or in your 40s realizing it’s finally time to put yourself first for once. You may be first-gen, carrying the pressure to “make it,” while also battling the guilt of outgrowing your roots. Deep down, you want peace—less overthinking, more confidence, more joy—and want to feel like you're not just surviving, but finally thriving. What you really crave is a space where you can be your full self—messy, Spanglish-speaking, emotional, funny, and real—without judgment. I specialize in supporting Latinos who are tired of pretending to have it all together. As a bilingual (okay, rancho-Spanish bilingual, lol) Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I create a space that feels like talking to your comadre—but with professional tools to actually help you heal. My therapy style is warm, honest, sometimes a little sweary, and always centered on you. I blend a holistic, personalized approach with practical strategies to help you understand your thoughts, unlearn harmful patterns, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. We’ll laugh, maybe cry, but most importantly—grow. If you’ve ever felt like no one gets what it’s like to live between cultures or carry the emotional weight you do, I want you to know: I see you. You don’t have to do this alone. Healing doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means coming home to yourself. Reach out whenever you're ready. I’m here when you are, and I gotchu.
