I am an LMHC and EMDR-certified therapist who works with clients from the first contact. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I am bicultural. I am a compassionate, empathic, and supportive therapist. Through years of practice with all clients, I have grown in my clinical skills, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability. My approach is integrative and individualized; each individual's sessions and progress look different.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have experience helping clients with depression/anxiety, loneliness, trauma (PTSD), divorce, domestic violence, abuse, grief, rejection, fear, isolation, adjusting to changes in life, etc.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clients are eager to improve but lack the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck and overwhelmed by difficult events in their lives.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I have been a certified EMDR therapist utilizing this powerful treatment method since 2019. I use EMDR to work with traumas, anxiety, and depression conditions with positive results.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have utilized the CBT method of treatment since my early years of formation, approximately ten years ago. I use CBT by itself or complementary to my EMDR treatment.
