About me
As a certified bilingual therapist, I offer services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that clients can engage in therapy in the language that feels most comfortable and authentic. I am passionate about creating a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ individuals and those exploring themselves.
Evening in-person sessions available! Sliding Scales available! Everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and supported. I offer a client-centered, trauma-informed space for adolescents (13+) and adults to feel supported, seen, and empowered. I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but about uncovering the strengths you already have and using them as a foundation for growth and healing.
When working with teens, I recognize that sustainable change is most effective with the support of caregivers. I invite family collaboration while always respecting the adolescent's autonomy and voice.
My approach blends evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and psychoeducation—to meet each client where they are. Whether you’re seeking clarity, connection, or lasting change, I’m here to walk alongside you on a path towards healing.
