My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process!

As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

Do you find it hard to cope with life due to relationship or career-related stress, grief, childhood trauma, unresolved family dynamics, or parenting challenges? Sometimes "feeling stuck" could be due to a recent or prior trauma. Are you a couple or family who is out of sync and have trouble communicating with each other? Are you a First/Second generation or mixed race struggling with family/culture-based expectations? I also work with adoption related issues. My style is warm, engaged & curious, and my role is to increase awareness and help you develop effective coping strategies.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others.

I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

I am currently providing telehealth Hippaa-compliant videoconferencing! We each have the tools within ourselves to make it possible to improve our lives. At times, however, we may be so overwhelmed with difficult circumstances, relationships, or transitions, that we want help from a professional. I have worked with individuals, couples and families who struggle with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, marital and family conflicts, food and substance use. I tend to see many adults, as well as adolescents who mainly suffer with anxiety-related problems. I have a positive and respectful attitude.

Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma.

In addition, I've also worked with athletes to strengthen their mental focus.

Are you ready to reclaim your power and rewrite your story? Then you're in the right place! As a LatinX therapist with over 14 years experience working with childhood trauma, I intimately understand the power of healing lifelong wounds. Maybe you've done ‘the work,' yet you still haven't gotten to the root of these hurts. This can make you feel self-critical, anxious and insecure. You're not alone. It's common to experience self-doubt or unworthiness, a legacy often passed down thru generations of trauma. But you're meant to shine without shame! And the journey home to yourSelf can be both deeply transformative and light-hearted.
