I am committed to provide a safe environment, through the development of rapport and a high level of trust, where patients can identify personal challenges and achieve their goals. My intention is to help them get a stronger sense of self awareness, rediscover their inner strengths so that they can go from pain/survival to thriving and having a fulfilling life.
I am a bilingual and bicultural Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego CA. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups who are encountering difficult dynamics or developing unhealthy/distressing emotional symptoms. I am particularly passionate about serving the Latino population. It has been my privilege and passion to provide services in English and Spanish to groups, adults, adolescents, children and couples for the last 19 years. Feel free to call me and ask any questions!
