About My Clients

Specializing in anxiety and depression, with expert training in the treatment of OCD and perfectionism, I understand the frustration that comes when your mind becomes an unreliable narrator, making even routine decisions feel overwhelming. Living with persistent doubt, unwanted thoughts, and an overwhelming need for certainty can make daily life feel impossible to navigate. Together, we can work to loosen the grip these thoughts have on your life, helping you rediscover what you value most.

My Background and Approach

I am currently taking Adult (18+) clients. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you are the expert of your experience, and I remain an active partner in your journey, offering guidance, reflection, and practical skills. My integrative approach combines evidence-based methods including CBT, ERP, ACT, and psychodynamic techniques. As a first-generation Hispanic therapist, I provide a culturally responsive, welcoming space where diverse identities, family structures, and personal challenges are honored. I specialize in various anxiety and OCD themes while supporting individuals through life's many transitions.
