Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.

I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.

My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.

More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.

Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or everyday stress, I want you to feel comfortable reaching out. As a bilingual psychiatric provider, I offer care in English and Spanish. I believe in listening without judgment, treating you as a person rather than a diagnosis, and working together to help you feel better. I offer appointments within 24 hours because your mental health shouldn't have to wait.
