(Hablo Español) I'm a warm, welcoming person who enjoys making others feel comfortable and heard. I approach conversations with an open mind, staying nonjudgmental and genuinely curious about different perspectives. I value kindness, honesty, and creating a space where people can be themselves. Whether we're solving a problem or just chatting, I aim to keep things approachable, positive, and easy to understand.
I am a Latinx therapist who specializes in trauma and the healing journey that follows. My approach is grounded in both professionalism and personal experience. Having done my own therapy work, I understand the courage it takes to face painful experiences, navigate life's challenges, and commit to personal growth.
I recognize that healing is not always a linear process. Growth often involves discomfort, vulnerability, and persistence. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
Whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences.
The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns we will work together to help you move forward toward lasting wellness.
I have over a decade of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner and previously spent nearly 10 years as a neonatal intensive care (NICU) nurse. These experiences have shaped my whole-personal approach to care and deep appreciation for clinical connection between physical health, emotional well-being, and family dynamics.
I offer both medication management and supportive therapy taking time to educate patients about their diagnosis and treatment options so they can make informed decisions about their own care.
Respect, understanding, and compassion are balanced with training and experience that will facilitate the most healing process from start to finish. We all face challenges, and have unexpected life events that have the capacity to set us back. However, 25 years of experience working with children and adolescents, couples in crisis, men, and those with addictions has prepared me to be uniquely qualified to help you on a new journey..

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Riverside, CA
Searching for therapists in Riverside starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists and Riverside counselors may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A profile may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples counseling in Riverside, which can help you decide who may be a strong fit.
Riverside offers local therapy options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Arlington, Magnolia Center, and surrounding areas, while virtual sessions can add more choice if commute time or scheduling matters. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual appointments for flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.
Therapy in Riverside can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway makes it easier to find therapists in Riverside, CA who are accepting new patients and offer clear cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare in-person and virtual options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
