With graduate-level training and experience working with children, families, and adults facing a variety of challenges, I’ve developed a particular focus on helping young adults navigate identity, life transitions, relationships, and boundary-setting.
As a therapist and person of color, I’m especially attuned to the unique cultural stressors many individuals face, particularly those in the Latino community. I understand the complexities of balancing cultural expectations with personal identity, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space for clients to explore these challenges without judgment.
My approach is warm, empathic, and grounded in authenticity. While I believe in creating a space of trust and understanding, I also value transparency and directness. I’m honest and straightforward in my work, helping clients address the deeper patterns and beliefs that may be creating barriers in achieving growth. If you’re looking for a therapist who keeps it real, we may be a good fit.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, which means that I pull from a variety of modalities to conceptualize and address clients’ unique combinations of strengths, goals, and challenges. My focus is on creating a collaborative, respectful environment where we can work together to achieve meaningful change and progress that aligns with your individual value system.
In my free time I enjoy being active, traveling, impromptu adventures and spending time with loved ones. I look forward to working with you.
