LPCC, 10 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California, offering bilingual therapy in English and Spanish. With over ten years of experience, I provide culturally responsive and evidence-informed care to adolescents, adults, and parents. My practice focuses on supporting clients through identity development, anxiety management, grief, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. As a Latinx immigrant, I integrate a nuanced understanding of cultural identity and the complexities of navigating multiple cultural contexts into my therapeutic approach. In addition to my professional expertise, I bring personal insight as a parent to a nonbinary adult, which informs my commitment to gender-affirming and inclusive care. I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and collaborative environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel respected, understood, and empowered to achieve their personal growth and mental wellness goals. ****También ofrezco servicios en español y puedes comunicarte conmigo en cualquiera de los dos idiomas..
Clients can expect to leave each session with greater clarity, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether it's new coping strategies, insights into thought patterns or behaviors, or ways to manage anxiety or life transitions, my goal is to equip you with actionable takeaways that empower you to create positive change. You’ll also gain tools to improve your relationships, both with yourself and others, while leaving with a stronger sense of connection to your own resilience and strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I bring cultural sensitivity, deep empathy, and genuine curiosity into every session. I also use humor and a strengths-based, empowering approach to help clients feel more at ease and build confidence in their journey. My lived experience as a Latinx immigrant and parent of a nonbinary adult child allows me to connect deeply with those navigating identity, transition, or marginalization. Clients often share that they feel supported, accepted, and encouraged to grow in our work together.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and parents as they navigate identity, relationships, and major life transitions. I have a deep commitment to serving LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, and I help clients build healthier, more authentic connections, whether with themselves, loved ones, or potential partners through self-awareness, communication, and emotional safety.
My therapeutic style is eclectic, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. I integrate techniques from person centered, CBT, mindfulness, exposure therapy, and solution-focused work, all within a trauma-informed framework. This allows me to tailor our work together in a way that feels safe, supportive, and effective, whether we’re exploring patterns, building coping skills, or creating meaningful change. I believe therapy should honor your story and adapt to what works best for you.

I can’t say enough good things about Alba. She has been such a grounding and transformative presence in my life. With her guidance, I’ve been able to recognize patterns that were holding me back and develop the tools I need to navigate challenges more confidently and calmly. Alba is compassionate, insightful, and incredibly skilled. She creates a safe space that feels supportive and empowering. I’m truly so grateful to call her my therapist. She’s the best! :)

Just had my first session with Alba. She is amazing! She holds space but also asks questions for further insight! I am really happy I found her and look forward to working with her!
