“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

These words are at the heart of my work as a therapist. I believe healing begins in spaces where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can bring your whole self, without fear and without shame. Whether you’re navigating pain, uncertainty, or change, you don’t have to go through it alone.

As a queer Latina raised in an immigrant household, I know how deeply our identities and lived experiences shape our inner worlds. My practice is grounded in community care, social justice, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I strive to meet you exactly where you are, with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.

I offer a holistic, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming approach to therapy. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing while honoring your strengths, wisdom, and resilience. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and inner child work. My work is always tailored to your needs and goals.

I support individuals experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Whether you’re working through a specific issue or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m here to support your growth and healing with care and respect.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Williams College and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people on their path toward wholeness.

If you’re looking for a place where you can be your full self, unpack what’s weighing on you, and begin to move forward with clarity and confidence, I’d be honored to connect with you. Let’s begin this journey together.
