I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Trauma Professional who specializes in helping young adults and adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of perfectionism and cultural expectations. As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a deep cultural understanding to my work, especially with Latinx clients navigating the complexities of identity, family dynamics, and the pressure to succeed while staying true to themselves. I create a space where you feel genuinely seen and heard—particularly if you've spent years feeling overlooked or afraid to speak up. My approach combines trauma-informed, evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing to help you understand what's driving your distress and reconnect with your authentic self. I work collaboratively and directly, gently challenging you to move beyond limiting beliefs while building the resilience and practical tools you need for meaningful, lasting change. I offer telehealth sessions and accept Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois insurance. I'm currently accepting new clients.
