I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is in the process of getting certified as Sex Therapist too.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in San Diego, CA

About My Clients

I work with individuals (adults), couples, and people in other relationship structures. I integrate discussions about sex into therapy, recognizing its role in emotional connection and relationship satisfaction. Exploring sexual intimacy can resolve misunderstandings and uncover deeper bonds. By fostering a safe, open space, I help clients approach these topics with curiosity and compassion, promoting greater understanding and closeness.

My Background and Approach

My approach is warm, humorous, and strength-based. Authenticity and creating a safe space for clients to be vulnerable and process their emotions are central to my practice. I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have had privilege of being immersed in two different cultures and ways of living since childhood. This unique background has broadened my understanding of human behavior and relationships. I am passionate about working with couples and guiding individuals as they navigate relational challenges of any kind and foster healthy interactions. I strongly believe that healing and growth are possible through safe and nurturing relationships. I believe that human connection is crucial tool personal healing and I am happy to serve as a tool for healing and understanding.
