ABOUT ME:

Hello! Mental well-being is not just a passion for me; it's my purpose. My goal is to foster strong family bonds through effective communication, understanding, and support. I am committed to the well-being of children, families, and parents.

With experience in clinical and case management roles within nonprofit organizations, I've had the privilege of working closely with children and families. These experiences have provided profound insights into the diverse dynamics of children and families. I understand the importance of tailoring my approach to my clients unique needs. My therapeutic approach is anchored in family systems, a holistic perspective, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). These frameworks serve as the foundation for healing and growth in my work with individuals, children, and families. Additionally, I provide valuable assistance to adults facing parenting struggles. Whether you're a new parent or navigating the challenges of parenthood, I'm here to offer guidance and support. I bring expertise in the Nurtured Heart Approach, a powerful tool for positive parenting techniques.

I am also deeply committed to supporting the Latinx community on their journey to mental well-being. As a first-generation Latina, my purpose is rooted in giving back to my community and helping others navigate life's challenges. Hablo espanol!

I strive to create an inclusive and culturally sensitive therapeutic space. Clients describe me as non-judgmental—a testament to my commitment to fostering trust and openness in the therapeutic relationship.As a therapist, I believe in the power of connection, communication, and understanding, fostering a safe space for individuals to explore their journey to mental health.I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
