Couple's Therapist • Bilingual Clinician • Relationship Healer
Whether you are stepping into therapy for the first time or returning after a long pause, you deserve a safe, welcoming space to explore what hurts and discover what heals. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who delivers trauma‑informed care in both English and Spanish, guiding individuals through anxiety, depression, relationship tension, and the everyday stressors that can cloud joy and connection. With honest, gentle, and direct feedback, I help clients understand their inner world, strengthen their relationships, and regain a sense of agency.
My Counseling Philosophy
Healing happens when genuine compassion meets clear, practical guidance. I blend systemic thinking -- how family patterns and cultural stories shape us -- with evidence‑based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic grounding. Every session is adapted to your history, identity, and goals, ensuring the process feels both respectful and relevant.
Areas of Focus
- Anxiety and mood stabilization
- Navigating life transitions and daily stress
- Couples and family relationship repair
- Complex and developmental trauma
- Culturally responsive care for bilingual and bicultural clients
What Working Together Looks Like
Our work begins with a collaborative assessment of your current challenges and strengths, followed by clear goal‑setting rooted in your values. Each appointment weaves supportive conversation with skill‑building exercises -- from grounding techniques to relationship communication tools -- so insights translate into action. Sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish, or a mix of both, ensuring language never stands between you and your progress. Over time, you will notice calmer emotions, healthier boundaries, and a deeper sense of self‑trust that shows up in every area of life.
