Growing up in a Hispanic household, I saw firsthand how much stigma there can be around mental health. Many people are expected to stay strong, keep their feelings to themselves, or push through hard things without asking for help. That stayed with me, and it’s a big part of why I became a therapist. I want to create a space where people feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment: a place to process what they’re going through, learn healthier ways of coping, and recognize that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. My style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I meet each client where they are, lead with empathy, and gently encourage new perspectives and practical coping skills along the way. I want every session to leave you feeling heard, supported, and a little more confident in your ability to navigate what’s in front of you. As a bilingual, bicultural therapist, I also love working with Spanish-speaking, first-generation, and bicultural clients and families navigating the unique challenges of balancing cultural expectations, identity, and family dynamics.
