I believe resiliency exists in all of us, but we can sometimes lose sight of our strengths and resources if we are overwhelmed by life. In times of stress, most of us yearn to remember what it is like to feel, at the very least, content or calm. That’s what I want for all my clients. During our therapeutic journey, we will discover, connect with, and heal old hurts affecting your present. We will create a greater understanding, more profound love, and strong appreciation for the singular being you are today. I hope to help you enhance your problem-solving skills, recalibrate your thinking patterns, compassionately learn from your mistakes, and set goals, feeling empowered all along the way. If you begin therapy willing to overcome difficulties rather than avoid problems, our work together will be life-altering. This is your time, space, and life; I am honored to be part of the ride.

My passion is social justice. As a first-generation American, Latina, and member of the LBGTQIA+ community, I have learned the critical, sometimes dire, importance of advocating for the rights and voices of marginalized groups. I enjoy providing a safe therapeutic space for members of underrepresented communities, as these resilient individuals also deserve a place of peace with culturally responsive and inclusive support. To quote one of my former clients, I have been committed to anti-discrimination work"before it was cool." I embrace the unique differences between individuals; sameness is not required for us to work effectively together.
