I consider it a privilege to walk alongside each client as they work toward healing.

Hi, I'm a therapist with a Master of Social Work who believes meaningful change happens through authentic connection. As a Hispanic therapist, I value the role culture, family, and lived experiences play in healing. My own experiences with loss and adversity have shaped the compassion I bring to my work. Drawing from relationship-based approaches, including DIR/Floortime, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment principles, and DIR/Floortime. My goal is to help clients develop insight, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and gain practical tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence. 

Life can bring moments of uncertainty, loss, and change, but you do not have to face them alone. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered. When you're ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin the process of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. I focus on understanding how social and emotional needs are shaped by environmental influences, genetics, and social interactions. My experience includes ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, community mental health with families, and adult private practice. I support clients in functioning at home, school, and work while navigating life’s challenges with confidence.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from California State University, Northridge. I am also certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and managing and adapting practice, structured evidence-based models used to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and disruptive behaviors.

Since no one method works for everyone, we will explore your goals, understand the barriers you may have faced in the past, and develop a personalized plan that supports meaningful progress. Therapy can be a place where things begin to make sense, and where you can gain the insight and practical tools needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
