About

I am a bilingual and bicultural Psychotherapist and I’m happy to provide services in Spanish and English. I completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at Universidad Iberoamericana and am currently pursuing a PhD in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. I've gathered over 5000 clinical hours of international experience. My clinical approach is well suited to addressing the psychological impacts of life challenges, medical and health challenges, and trauma. Together we can connect and explore at your pace in a caring, empathic space with honest feedback, strategies for change, and a little humor.

I support immigrants and mixed-status families, offering guidance on cultural and familial challenges for 1st/2nd generation individuals. I address identity-related issues including sexual orientation.
