I am a California native who recently re-located to Dallas, Texas. I am a first generation Salvadoreña. I am extremely proud of my indigenous ancestry and of my culture. I aim to empower anyone who can relate or identify. I obtained my Masters of Social Work from the University of Southern California. (Fight on!) I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over ten years, and specialize in working with BIPOC (Black,Indigenous, People of Color) I aim to create spaces inclusive of all cultures, races, genders, ages, and sexual orientations. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and am also trained to provide EMDR. I am especially interested in bringing awareness on how we are able to "retrain the brain" and ultimately add more peace and joy into our lives.

I love to work with patients who have really reached a crossroads in deciding to confront what's holding them back and dig right into it. Processing and letting go of thoughts, beliefs, and reactions that hold you back or keep you stuck is a powerful way to take care of yourself. I have been working in behavioral health for almost 14 years when I decided to focus on EMDR over 4 years ago. Though other approaches can be helpful, I noticed the limitations of other modalities I had been practicing with. EMDR is a specialized approach to psychotherapy that is considered a successful and evidence-based practice due to the demonstrated and remarkable outcomes achieved in significantly less time compared to the often more lengthy process of traditional talk therapy alone.

I know what it’s like when the late-night fights with your spouse leave you drained, when work deadlines and school carpool lines blur together, and the days feel like they’re just melting into one another. Maybe you’ve forgotten what it feels like to laugh, to feel light, or to truly enjoy a moment for yourself. You are in the right place. Here is where you get to pause, process, and reclaim clarity, balance, and joy—even in the midst of life’s chaos.
