Hello there. I am so grateful that you have courageously taken the steps and time to find support for yourself and your life, especially if you’re navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, mood-related disorders, or attachment issues. Now that you're here, I want to highlight that I believe you have the capacity to connect to your own inner wisdom. It is from this place that we can embark on our healing journey, discovering more of ourselves and moving towards what we really want. I would love to support you and witness you as you move through life.
I support individuals, families, and couples in resolving life stressors and trauma, helping them regain balance. I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist with extensive experience treating various emotional concerns, weaving together different modalities to support a client's whole self—mind, body, and spirit.
I am a trained Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT) and a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. I utilize mindfulness and meditative practices, with attachment-based understandings, to complement and tailor my approach to each client. I am mindful of how your unique experiences impact and intersect with how you show up every day and how the world receives you. I will be here working alongside you as you brave your way through life, find new meaning, and regain your purpose.
