About Me

As a bilingual Latina psychotherapist, I proudly serve clients in California, Florida, and Washington D.C. as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Jose State University (SJSU), with a concentration in Health and Mental Health.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care to diverse and underserved communities. As a first-generation Latina, I deeply understand the emotional nuances of navigating multiple cultures, and I bring this cultural awareness into every session.

Areas of Specialization

I offer telehealth therapy to individuals from all backgrounds, with a particular focus on:

  • Trauma recovery

  • Support for BIPOC professionals

  • LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy

  • Guidance for individuals exploring psychedelics for healing

  • Anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and grief

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, intuition, and collaboration, creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I meet you where you are and gently support you as you heal, grow, and move toward empowerment and self-trust.

My Approach

Clients often share that our sessions feel like a space where authenticity, safety, and genuine connection thrive. I don’t just listen silently—I engage thoughtfully, ask meaningful questions, and offer insights that help foster deeper self-awareness and emotional clarity. My presence is warm, curious, and deeply invested in your growth.

In our work together, we’ll explore limiting beliefs and habitual thought patterns, gently challenging those that no longer serve you. I always honor that you are the expert of your own life, and our collaboration is grounded in mutual respect and compassion.

I consider myself an eclectic and integrative therapist, blending multiple evidence-based approaches to create a personalized treatment plan that honors your unique needs, culture, and values. My clinical training includes:

  • Psychodynamic therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Person-Centered Therapy

  • Gestalt therapy

  • Mindfulness-based interventions

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

  • Trauma-informed care

  • Multicultural and harm reduction frameworks

Whether you're processing trauma, managing anxiety or depression, navigating identity exploration, or seeking more self-trust and emotional resilience, I tailor my approach to meet you where you are.

I believe the foundation of effective therapy lies in a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. Our work begins by getting to know your challenges, goals, and personal story—then together, we create a plan for healing and growth that is empowering, compassionate, and aligned with your truth.
