I am a bilingual LMFT and LPCC in Southern California with a background in inpatient mental health, trauma care, and private practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the music industry, which shaped how I see people: complex, creative, and often carrying more than the world can see. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions. I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine belief that change is possible. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, and I serve clients throughout California via telehealth.
