You may be trying to keep things together while feeling anxious, down, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to get back to feeling like yourself. Maybe past experiences are still affecting you, relationships have become difficult to navigate, or you're struggling to understand why you keep reacting in ways you don't want to. For teens, this can look like withdrawing, feeling misunderstood, struggling at school, or having emotions that feel difficult to manage. For parents, it may mean trying to support your child while also feeling unsure of what to do next. I work with teens, parents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I strive to make therapy feel warm, genuine, and easy to talk about.

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the Diagnostic Privilege and Ph.D. candidate in Mental Health Counseling at Pace University, where I also earned my master’s degree. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology. I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and compassion not judgment.

I have experience working with individuals and couples navigating challenges such as relationship concerns, co-dependence, self-esteem, and substance use, as well as a variety of mental health diagnoses. My research has focused on intergenerational trauma within Latin American communities, and I’m passionate about helping clients explore how culture, identity, and family history influence emotional well-being.

As a bilingual counselor who values authenticity and growth, I strive to create a space where clients feel seen and supported for who they are not just what they’ve been through. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, build self-trust, and create meaningful change in your life.
