About me
Bilingual-Latina Therapist Supporting Chronic Illness, Grief, Caregiving, Anxiety & Spiritual Struggles/Growth
You may be facing a life-changing diagnosis, grieving a deep loss, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or navigating a major life transition. You're the who holds space for others—at home, in your community, or in ministry—while quietly carrying your own pain. Now, it's your turn to be supported. If you’re seeking compassionate care that honors your emotional, relational, and spiritual journey, you’ve found a safe space here. I specialize in working with Latino/a communities, adults, teens, and couples navigating grief, loss, anxiety, cancer, chronic illness, spiritual distress, acculturation, relational conflicts & life transitions.
As a bilingual therapist, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Much of my work has been in support of individuals and families in crisis, helping professionals, and offering support to clients navigating cancer. My training is in clinical mental health counseling, trauma-informed care, theology, and psycho-oncology. I believe in meeting you where you are—tuning into your unique story with respect and cultural sensitivity.
In our time together, you'll find a space to unpack what's on your heart and mind, gain clarity, and find hope—even when things feel especially tough. Whether you’re dealing with a health crisis, struggling with your faith, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to walk alongside you. Click "Email Me" to reach out—I’d be truly honored to support.

Soy terapeuta bilingüe con formación dual en consejería clínica de salud mental y divinidad. Me especializo en apoyar a personas y parejas que enfrentan enfermedades crónicas, cáncer, estrés por cuidado, duelo, ansiedad y dificultades espirituales. También trabajo con profesionales de ayuda, incluyendo a ministros y cuidadores, que suelen estar al servicio de otros pero ahora necesitan espacio para su propia sanidad. Mi enfoque combina técnicas clínicas con sensibilidad cultural y apoyo espiritual, ofreciendo un espacio compasivo y respetuoso.
En nuestro tiempo juntos, encontrarás un espacio para desahogar tus inquietudes, obtener claridad y encontrar esperanza, incluso cuando las cosas se sientan especialmente difíciles. Ya sea que estés lidiando con una crisis de salud, luchando con tu fe o simplemente sintiéndote abrumado, estoy aquí para acompañarte.
