About My Clients

My clients are often self aware and have insight into their patterns, but still find themselves overthinking, shutting down, or repeating the same relationship dynamics. Many struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. They are tired of managing things on the surface and want to understand what is actually driving their reactions so they can respond differently.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience treating anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. My work is grounded in attachment and focuses on identifying the patterns that drive your responses, not just the symptoms. I integrate approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and parts work, depending on what fits best for you. Therapy with me is direct, structured, and focused on helping you make changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people make sense in the context of their experiences. The patterns you are stuck in are not random, they developed for a reason. I also recognize how culture, family roles, and expectations shape those patterns, especially within the Latinx community. At the same time, understanding them is not enough. Change requires actively working through those patterns in a way that feels manageable and grounded. I value honesty, accountability, and creating a space where you can look at what is going on without feeling judged.
