My clients are adults (18+), who are dealing with stress, anxiety or depression due to phases of life, college adjustment, chronic/terminal illness (including vast experience with oncology patients and caregivers), grief or cultural adjustment. You are stronger than you think. It is okay to feel stuck in issues of life; this is normal. My commitment is to provide you with therapeutic non-judgmental and integrative support to help you regain a better emotional wellbeing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
"Every single journey starts with a first step". If I have to choose a motto for my therapeutic approach, this is the one that fits my practice the most. I am a passionate believer about self-empowering my clients into embracing and accepting who they are by using their inner skills (and even their own flaws) as tools for personal growth. As a Hispanic, my background has a strong respect for all cultures, religions and beliefs. I believe each person has their unique worth and deserve to be seen, heard and understood.
