Therapy Style
Starting therapy can bring mixed emotions to any individual. This is why I always like to start by helping my clients feel safe and seen. Therapy is a collaborative approach where the client gets to direct what they want their treatment to focus on.
My treatment approach to therapy is providing a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive space for individuals to address their mental health struggles. I take a whole-person approach and discuss the mind and body connection as it relates to our mental health.
I specialized in serving the Latinx community, first-generation professionals, and those struggling with high functioning anxiety. I have extensive experience working with adults who have a history of undisclosed childhood trauma, depression, panic attacks, and high functioning anxiety. My experience includes working in the tech sector prior to switching careers and in the hospital setting.

What are your interests outside of work?
I enjoy spending time with my two dogs and running as part of my self-care.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?
I give myself permission everyday to do nothing for one hour. This helps me stay grounded and out of fight or flight mode.
