About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their journeys toward healing and growth. As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, ensuring I can connect with clients in an authentic and accessible way. Mi objetivo es brindar un espacio seguro y comprensivo para todos. I especially enjoy serving BIPOC, Latinx, and underserved communities, and I strive to make a positive impact by helping clients overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, and achieve greater well-being.

Get to know me

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

I strive to create a warm and inviting environment in our sessions, defined by a collaborative and empathetic communication style. Clients can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where they can express themselves freely and feel truly supported on their journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What makes me unique is my extensive experience of over 8 years in the field, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of the diverse needs of individuals and families. Being bilingual enables me to connect and communicate effectively with clients from various backgrounds, especially within the Latinx and underserved communities. I am empathetic and dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing and exploring their experiences. This combination of experience, cultural sensitivity, and compassion helps me provide effective and meaningful support to those I serve.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients who are open to embracing their healing journey and making meaningful changes in their lives. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to break negative cycles and are receptive to therapy as a tool for growth. These clients are committed to self-discovery and willing to explore new strategies for improving their mental and emotional wellness.
