Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Valencia, CA

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or searching for greater meaning and direction. I work with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and move toward a life that feels more purposeful and aligned. People often find their way to me while navigating anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, or deeper questions about identity and purpose.

As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I'm committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely respected, understood, and at home.

Hello, I am glad you are here. My goal is to offer a safe welcoming space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. I believe everyone deserves to be heard with kindness, respect, and compassion. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you as we work toward the life you want to create.

With over 15 years of experience, I have helped countless individuals navigate the challenges they face and find peace within themselves. Together, we can work towards culminating a healthier and more fulfilling future.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my dogs, hiking with friends, cooking, and making flower arrangements. I also enjoy spending time doing artsy activities or attending local events.

I can understand first-hand how difficult it can be to reach out for help for the first time. I believe in the importance of "practicing what you preach" and I have been the client in the room who needs extra support. I invite you to give yourself a chance, try something new, and gain a healthy perspective on how to address complicated moments in your life.

I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a safe, judgment-free space.

Neurodivergent, Autism Spectrum,ADHD,Social anxiety, LGBTQIA+: I can help!
