About me
I am a bilingual, English and Spanish, Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in individual, couples, and family therapy.
I believe that one shouldn't face adversities alone. There are times when we can't find the solution, and we just need a hand to help us move forward. I want to provide that support to help you progress despite the obstacles. I focus on providing a space where people feel welcome, safe, and motivated to achieve their goals.
I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Family and Child Studies focusing on children/adolescent development and parenting techniques. I earned a Master of Science in Applied Human Development and Family Sciences with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I utilize various family-centered approaches to guide clients in achieving their therapeutic goals. I treat a range of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, as well as addressing relationship dynamics. I provide guidance and support with symptom management due to clinical problems such as depression, anxiety, grief, marital problems, and parenting issues. I am certified in Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1&2 and I am also a Prepare/Enrich facilitator guiding couples through the beginning of their marital journey.
