About the Therapist

It is my experience and understanding that we as humans encounter waves throughout our lifetime. Many are serene, others tolerable, and some come crashing down with weight. It is an honor to walk with you during those times through therapy.

My Mission

As a child born to immigrants from Mexico, I am passionate about normalizing mental health talk and improving access to mental health care for all, especially for folks who are marginalized (“people are being pushed both down and out at the same time“). And as a former client myself, I can say 1) I was probably one of the first people in my family to go to therapy for a good amount of time, and 2) my experiences in therapy heavily influenced my path in life after trauma and planted my strong belief in the power of therapy services.

All of the above also drives my desire to advocate for providing culturally affirming care. I believe culturally affirming care provides the environment and foundation needed for building a safe, trusting relationship that can lead to your empowerment and growth.

Also good to know – I’ve worked with individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds at various social, educational, and clinical settings for over 15 years. It might also be helpful for you to know that ADHD is a lived experience for me, especially if this is an area you have questions about.
