Terapeuta Bilingüe: Experto en Superar Desafíos, Especialista en Crear Soluciones.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

I have been in the mental health field for almost 10 years. I spent two years as a case manager for kids 6-17. I completed my internship and practicum at a rehab facility that worked with everything from trauma, substance use to mood disorders. I work in the prison system for three years, two of which I was a substance abuse counselor. I have been running my own practice for just over two years now. I have a lot of experience working with a wide range of clients.

I have worked as a clinical therapist with youth, adolescents, and young adults, including those experiencing thoughts of self-harm and suicide. I have also worked extensively with neurodivergent youth and young adults, supporting a range of needs related to identity, emotional regulation, and social connection.
