About My Clients

I’m passionate about working with young adults — especially those navigating anxiety, depression, identity, and the unique dynamics of being a child of immigrant parents.

My Background and Approach

As a Latinx counselor, I offer a culturally aware, compassionate space for those navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I use a trauma-informed approach and integrate somatic techniques to support emotion regulation and body awareness. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and empowering healing environment. I provide a space that feels safe, culturally sensitive, and grounded in compassion — where clients don’t have to explain or justify their lived experiences to be understood. In our work together, we explore the weight of expectations, cultural identity, and the emotional toll of navigating multiple worlds. At the core is a desire for relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of self — to heal without having to sacrifice where you come from or who you are becoming.
