About My Clients

The transitions and stressors of life can be overwhelming, often leading to disconnection and isolation. I offer a space of compassion and empathy for those who find themselves in such pain. I understand it is a tremendous privilege to be brought into someone else's story, so I take great care to listen with tenderness and warmth. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all journey; that's why my heart for therapy is to come alongside each of my clients to collaborate with them on their path to healing.

My Background and Approach

Working from an attachment theory lens, I hope to cultivate a safe space of authenticity, openness, and understanding so each client can process their emotional experience, gain important insight and take steps towards their renewal. Whatever it is you may be holding, my goal is to help you acknowledge and tend to the deep wounds that may exist, and together work towards healing and wholeness. I have a passion for and experience in serving clients navigating relationship conflict, life transition, grief, trauma, spirituality, and identity. As a first-generation Latina, I use my unique perspective when serving diverse, minority communities, a population that is very dear to her heart. I am also currently in the certification process for Prepare & Enrich, a resource for premarital/couples counseling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the potential for healing and growth, and therapy is one way of helping you get there. We have the power and agency to rewrite our narratives or find emotional and relational health, even when this is a new experience for us. I am passionate about so many things like culturally competent therapy, healing after religious trauma, equity over equality, offering therapy in Spanish, amongst so many other things. I cannot wait to meet you where you are and walk alongside you in your journey.
