I’m a first-generation American, Guatemalan-American, licensed marriage and family therapist offering online therapy throughout California. I work with young women, young professionals, and adults dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-esteem, relationships, and the pressure of balancing family and cultural expectations with figuring out who you actually are.
Maybe you’re the thoughtful, self-aware one who can explain exactly why you do what you do, but you still find yourself repeating the same patterns. Maybe you say yes when you want to say no. Maybe you’re stuck between what your family expects and what feels true to you. A lot of my clients are young professionals and adults who seem like they have it together on the outside, but feel stuck, stressed, or unsure of themselves underneath.
My style is warm, collaborative, and a little playful. Using CBT and, when it helps, creative exercises for things that are hard to put into words, we’ll look at where your patterns come from, what keeps them going, and how to respond differently, so understanding yourself turns into real change. You can honor where you come from and still decide who you want to become. You don’t have to have yourself figured out to begin.
Reaching out takes courage, especially when you feel stuck or weighed down. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and the life you want.
Ready to get started? Send a message and our intake coordinator will reach out within 1-2 business days to set up a free 15-minute phone call. It’s a chance to ask questions about fees, insurance, and what therapy with me looks like, and to make sure this feels like the right fit. After that, I’ll see you at your first session.
