About

I strive to join you in exploring your inner world with curiosity and compassion. My approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to your unique goals and current challenges. I enjoy working with young adults, college and graduate students, and adults navigating social anxiety, stress, mood disorders, perfectionism, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues. My training includes CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space for therapeutic growth. I have additional specialization working with clients of multicultural/bicultural identities including Latino clients. I believe in cultural consciousness as a tool for dismantling barriers and fostering cultural unity. In our fast-paced world, resilience is often emphasized, and I believe that we shouldn't always have to endure. As a bilingual (Spanish & English) Latina therapist, I embrace my bilingualism as a means of fostering connection and understanding.
