Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I offer therapy for adults and teens who are looking for support with life’s challenges—whether it’s stress, transitions, relationships, or just feeling stuck. I’m bilingual in Spanish and have a deep, personal understanding of the Latinx experience, which helps me connect with clients in a meaningful and culturally sensitive way.

I’m trained in EMDR, trauma-informed care, DBT, CBT, and more, and have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family—including my toddler and teenager—going on walks, doing yoga, and enjoying a good matcha.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying a heavy load. One thing for sure, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

In my practice, I work extensively with college students, athletes, young adults and adults across various stages of life. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, performance pressure, injury recovery, burnout, and complex questions around identity and self-worth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my core mission is to support you through life's most challenging moments so you can step fully into the best version of yourself. Therapy isn't just about managing symptoms, it’s about discovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating a life that feels authentic and aligned with who you are.

Whether you are starting medication for the first time or looking to fine-tune an existing regimen, I provide a safe, supportive space where you are heard and respected.


I am licensed in California and Arizona and offer secure telehealth sessions that fit your schedule, including evening and weekend availability.

My goal is simple: to help you feel balanced, confident, and in control of your mental health.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that true growth begins when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and practical — I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

My clinical style integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Trauma-Informed Care. I also draw from strengths-based and person-centered frameworks to help clients reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or past trauma, we’ll work together to develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos and have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, healthcare, and private practice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’m deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural humility in my work.

Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and attentive. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful growth — not only in therapy, but in all areas of your life.
