Therapist

Virtual • California


I have a deep passion for helping others find healing, growth, and hope. As a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I offer telehealth sessions in both English and Spanish, allowing you to express yourself in the language that feels most comfortable. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, divorce, infidelity, and major life transitions. Together, we will work toward greater self-awareness, healing, and meaningful change. As a woman of faith who believes in God, I value the role spirituality and personal beliefs can play in the healing journey. I welcome exploring these areas when they are meaningful to you while honoring and respecting each person’s unique story and background.
