I work with adults who are coping with chronic medical conditions, major life changes, and the motional weight that can come with navigating the healthcare system. Many of my clients are adjusting to new diagnoses, dialysis or kidney disease, disability, caregiver stress, or the anxiety and depression that often accompany health challenges.

As a medical social worker, I bring a strong understanding of how physical health and mental health intersect. I help clients process loss, rebuild a sense of control, and develop practical strategies to manage both emotional and day-to-day stressors.

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

La vida se mueve en olas. Life moves in waves. I started Olas Therapy because I am passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, and families in navigating trauma, big emotions, and identity exploration with a holistic and personalized approach- helping clients ride life’s waves with resilience and connection. I provide services in Spanish and English, and I love working with kids of all ages. I am particularly interested in supporting caregivers in navigating parental challenges to foster a healthy parent-child relationship and promoting healthy sexuality across the lifespan.

Maybe you've been carrying something for a while, and it's starting to feel heavier than you can manage on your own. It might be your drinking, your relationship with food, or something from your past that still shows up in your everyday life. I work with adults facing substance use, disordered eating, and trauma, along with the anxiety, depression, and grief that often come with them. If part of you wants things to change and part of you isn't sure, that's a very common place to start. You don't need to have it all sorted out before reaching out. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience and a degree from Liberty University.
