About My Clients

My ideal client is you, someone curious enough to have a conversation about the benefits of therapy. Someone willing to take the first step in their journey. I strive for clients to take away a sense of balance, insight and coping techniques that can assist in managing daily stressors.

My Background and Approach

I believe being a first generation Latina has influenced my views of the world we live in. Personal experiences have allotted me first-hand exposure to the variety of issues that are associated with being an immigrant such as feelings of isolation, language acquisition and bilingualism, culture shock, and the frustration of finding and navigating resources. For me, one of the cornerstones of a successful counseling relationship is not only acknowledging a person’s upbringing and life experiences but also a sense of compassion and empathy which allows for a non-judgmental atmosphere. In turn, a level of trust and respect can arise helping the individual to feel comfortable with sharing their personal journeys and narrations while forming a positive professional relationship where they can grow and gain valuable insight to themselves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I aim to create a relaxed, supportive and safe environment where there is a healthy level of trust that will allow the individual to communicate and address the concerns that warranted therapy. Understanding that every individual is different and requires a personally designed approach, I strive to create a space where we can be vulnerable and authentic without judgment.
