Life is full of personal and relational challenges that affect our overall wellbeing, but you don't have to do it alone. In my clinical experience, I have worked with couples, individuals (teenagers, young adults, and adults) and families with a wide range of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, grief, body image, life transitions, pre-marital counseling, emotional regulation, and trauma. I enjoy working with parents and their teenage or young adult children. I particularly love working with couples who are struggling with sexual challenges, cultural problems, finances, communication problems, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. Because of my roots, I have loved working with Hispanic clients and doing therapy in our native language. I have worked with families where the parents’ first language is Spanish and the kids’ preferred language is English and have been able to communicate fluently and comfortably with both.

My hope as your therapist is to help you navigate the complexities of human relationships and mental wellbeing so you can find joy. My approach to therapy is holistic, examining and intervening in the emotional, mental, physical, relational, and spiritual aspects of each individual's life. Informed by my research, including my master's thesis on the therapeutic alliance, I focus on building a safe and caring therapeutic relationship with each of my clients.
