As a licensed mental health counselor with nearly five years of experience, I help women and LGBTQ+ individuals ages 16 and up work through anxiety, relationship issues, identity questions, and past trauma. I help clients who are looking for a safe, supportive space where they can feel understood, manage their emotions, and grow. They aim to enhance self-awareness and self-compassion so they can navigate life with more confidence and ease.
I specialize in trauma-informed care and helping clients manage emotions. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. My approach is warm, tailored, and empowering. I’m passionate about creating a safe space where clients can develop self-compassion and practical skills for lasting growth.
I use a blend of techniques, including CBT to challenge negative thoughts, DBT for emotional regulation, and psychodynamic theory to explore how past experiences shape your present. I’m here to build a trusting relationship where you feel heard and understood, with a warm and sometimes lighthearted touch to make the process feel natural and comfortable.
My path to becoming a therapist started from a deep desire to understand and heal generational trauma I saw in my Hispanic family. I wanted to help others in similar positions, especially those navigating complex identities, find empathy, understanding, and growth. Going back to school allowed me to expand my knowledge and pursue a career where I bring authenticity, rawness, and commitment to building trust and supporting clients on their journeys.
I believe in creating a warm, non-judgmental space, which helps me be a genuine and supportive partner. I look forward to helping you gain insights, manage emotions, and discover new opportunities for growth, all while being your authentic self in a safe, trusting environment.
Outside of my work as a therapist I love watching movies, especially anything horror, thriller or overall weird. I'm utterly obsessed with my cat Bibi (pictures available upon request). I love trying new restaurants with friends and going to concerts whenever my favorite artists are in town.
