High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I specialize in supporting adults facing difficult life transitions, relationship issues, intergenerational/historical traumas, grief/loss, depression and anxiety. I provide support from a multicultural lens, taking into account physical, mental, spiritual, emotional wounds. My work is deeply rooted in empowering and supporting individuals on their journey of healing. I sit alongside them as they mend emotional/behavioral wounds and uncover inner strengths, insight and increase awareness about themselves.
My framework is based on client-centered, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a cultural lens. I integrate the modality that the client needs. I am a bilingual/bicultural Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I am fluent in Spanish and English. My sessions are warm, empathic and authentic. I meet you where you are at.

Interests
I love to put my hands in the dirt, so gardening is a beautiful way to care for myself and the earth. I like to work out because it's good for releasing stress and regenerating. I also like to cook and love to spend down time with my family and laugh.
