About My Clients

I help high-functioning women navigate anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, and relationship challenges. My clients are often the “strong ones” who feel overwhelmed and stuck in old patterns. They're ready to set boundaries, heal past wounds, and reconnect with themselves. I offer a warm, direct, and supportive space where growth happens through honesty, insight, and compassion.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience, beginning my career in 2008 supporting individuals with serious mental illness. I’ve provided psychiatric care in emergency rooms, and offered end-of-life support for both perinatal loss and hospice patients. Today, I specialize in helping women heal from anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship challenges. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal Theory with a warm, direct style. Clients often say they feel both seen and stretched in our work—my goal is to help you build confidence, set boundaries, and reconnect with your sense of peace and self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a gay Latina, I bring a unique perspective to my practice & enjoy serving culturally diverse & underrepresented communities. I believe healing happens in safe, authentic relationships. I value honesty, humor, and the courage it takes to grow. Outside of therapy, I enjoy desert hikes, creative writing, strength training, and spending time with my two sweet (and slightly spoiled) Maltese pups. I’m passionate about helping women feel more grounded, self-assured, and at peace in their own skin.
