In my experience as someone who advocated for a family member, it was important in our search for a therapist to find someone who was experienced in techniques and interventions that would allow the client to reach their therapeutic goals. You may be wondering how I can help you therapeutically. In the quietness of your struggles have you ever wondered, why do you have challenges in regulating your mood, can you heal from past trauma, how can you get beyond the hopelessness you feel, and how can you adjust to life changes? If you are someone who has challenges with anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem issues, Past Trauma, Family issues, Conflict/Divorce, Marriage/Couple issues, Adjustment Disorder, Relationship issues, Grief and Loss, Communication Skills, Behavioral skills, and Coping Skills; I may be a good fit for you.

I believe that what you hold , is holding you....Meaning... when you experience stress, anxiety, or feeling disconnected, you are unknowingly holding onto feelings and stress that you may not be aware of, And when you suppress those emotions, they hold you back from feeling the joy, the freedom, the peace and fulfillment you desire.

I help you find the "hidden blocks and feelings" that hold you back from being emotionally free and show you how to heal, release and transform into the higher version of you

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) licensed psychologist who is passionate about helping women understand themselves more deeply, overcome challenges, and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. I provide both therapy and psychological evaluations in a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment.

In therapy, I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I believe healing happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make lasting changes.

I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to help individuals gain clarity about their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Evaluations may address concerns related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, personality functioning, cognitive changes, and diagnostic clarification. My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help you better understand your strengths, challenges, and the most effective path forward.

Whether you are seeking therapy, an evaluation, or both, I strive to create a collaborative experience where you feel respected, understood, and supported every step of the way.

With training in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), trauma-focused CBT, and child parent psychotherapy (CPP), I offer an integrative approach tailored to each client's unique needs and experiences.
