About My Clients

Many of the women I work with are in their mid 20's to 40's and have experienced childhood wounds and relational trauma. They feel anxious and lost in relationships that don't find fulfilling. Whether its romantic relationships, career, social relationships, or family of origin relationships, they feel like they are doing so much, giving so much but still feeling like none of it is enough. I see them struggle as they are stuck in cycles of perfectionism, validation seeking, or people pleasing.

My Background and Approach

I'm a fully licensed professional counselor in the state of Illinois. I'm passionate about helping women heal from childhood wounds and relational trauma. In therapy, I help women gain insight into the different parts within themselves (IFS) and guide them toward awareness of narratives that keep them stuck (Narrative Therapy). I facilitate the process of rewriting these narratives and develop once that lead to healing and empowerment. I help women become more attuned to their emotions (Somatic therapy and Mindfulness), their needs and their values (ACT) so that they can move through life feeling proud of themselves and the life they're living. Through this process, I’ve seen countless women become more calm and confident and start relationships that feel healthy and fulfilling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a first generation Latina, I feel passionate about supporting other Latina women on their mental health journey.
