About My Clients

It is exhausting holding up a mask to the world, pretending to be someone you aren’t just to fit in or to make it seem like your life is all put together, when in reality you're just trying to survive. Sound familiar? These feelings are normal, and they point us to our inner wisdom that something isn’t working: a situation, a habit, a relationship, etc. If you’re feeling stuck, you are not alone.

My Background and Approach

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) counselor, I take a trauma-informed, multicultural approach to working with clients ages 12 and up. I work with individuals impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, as well as those looking for career coaching. I tailor and integrate various treatment modalities like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to facilitate healing based on your specific needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and to live authentically. We grow up internalizing limiting beliefs, fears, and insecurities that cloud our vision of our inner power and wisdom. Therapy, then, is a tool for removing the clutter, reclaiming your narrative, and writing the ending that you want. Schedule a consultation with me and we can discuss what you’re looking for and how we can work together.
