About
As someone who has walked alongside individuals, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and life transitions, I bring an empathetic and strengths-based approach that honors each person's unique story.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, restore connection, and achieve emotional well-being in a safe, compassionate space. Together, we'll identify strengths, build coping tools, and create positive change through collaboration and self-awareness.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Walden University. My approach is trauma-informed, empathic, and strengths-based. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and family systems techniques to support healing.
In our work together, you can expect warmth, authenticity, and respect. Whether you're navigating relationships, grief, or personal challenges, I'll walk alongside you to foster healing, clarity, and confidence. You deserve a space to feel heard, supported, and empowered toward lasting growth.

I know what it feels like to navigate life's hardest moments, and that lived experience helps me show up with genuine empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others heal.
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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
