My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and build on your strengths. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques, I help clients unlearn negative thought patterns, develop emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with their inner resilience. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or irritable, I will help you find tools to regulate your nervous system and bring balance back into your daily life. If you’ve experienced trauma, we will work together to process or reprocess your experiences in a way that promotes safety and healing. My goal is for you to know that your voice matters — you do not need to suffer in silence. 🌼 A Little About Me I’m a first-generation Mexican American, a mother and dog mom, a lover of nature and a runner. I understand firsthand that change can be difficult and that making time for therapy, self-care, and healing takes courage. Like many of my clients, I have faced life’s obstacles, grief, and stresses — and I believe that healing is possible for everyone. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it’s also the beginning of transformation. You already have the ability to heal — and I’m honored to walk beside you on that journey.
