Welcome.

About Me
I am a first-generation, bilingual, urban Latina. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide trauma-informed and culturally sensitive mental health care to teens, young adults, and adults from all backgrounds and walks of life.
As a daughter of immigrants, raised in a low-income household in a community of color, and who experienced childhood trauma, I am all too aware of the barriers and stigma that make it difficult to reach out for and access mental health care. It is what makes me a compassionate and empathetic provider.
I am committed to empowering my clients with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to thrive. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I meet you where you are, recognizing that each journey is unique. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to your needs.
I believe in the power of collaboration. My ideal client understands that therapy is a collaborative process—they are the expert in their own life and are ready to take meaningful steps toward change.
