I enjoy connecting with clients by learning their individual stories. By understanding my clients, I can connect them to a specific modality for treatment. I am empathic and caring. My goal is to support each of my clients reflect on their lives and become emotionally strong.

I've been in therapy myself and have both healed and grown tremendously having worked with

therapists. Through my work with skilled therapists, I have become a more present, alive, whole-

bodied person that has learned to love myself--to be kinder to myself, less self-critical, happier,

and enjoy expressing my various forms of creativity. I'm not perfect but I continue to make shifts

when I drift into old patterns. As a result of these experiences and recommitting to shifting into

presence, self-acceptance, and whole-body awareness I feel more connected, alive and at peace. I

enjoy loving relationships with the people closest to me including my wife and children. When

not working with people, I enjoy reading biographies and adventure novels, playing board and

card games, watching live baseball games, and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities and

pursuits.

Hello! I am an Attachment based therapist and I find it an honor to be on the journey to self discovery with my clients. Walking along side someone (figuratively) while they create a better understanding to their self and how to live this thing we call life is what motivates and drives me.

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

If you are navigating the quiet weight of relationship wounds, identity

questions, or emotional patterns that have followed you for years without

fully understanding why, I specialize in exactly this kind of work. I am a

Latina therapist who provides services in Spanish and English, bringing a

culturally affirming lens to every session. I practice in Santa Clarita with

specialized tools including Brainspotting and IFS for deeper healing.
