Individual counseling provides a supportive space to reflect, process, and grow. I often work with individuals who want to build self-esteem, heal from family-of-origin trauma, and recognize and shift relationship patterns that no longer serve them.
Together, we’ll explore the experiences that have shaped you, identify what’s keeping you feeling stuck, and find a path forward toward the life you want and deserve. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

Couples counseling can help you build a stronger, more connected relationship. Relationships are deeply rewarding, but they can also be complex and challenging. Lasting love takes effort, communication, and commitment from both partners.
Whether you're looking to improve communication, manage conflict more effectively, or deepen emotional and physical intimacy, couples counseling offers a supportive space to grow together.
I use Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy to guide my work with couples. This evidence-based approach helps partners strengthen friendship, resolve conflict, and build a lasting foundation of trust and connection. You can learn more about the Gottman Method here.

Congratulations on your engagement! In my opinion, premarital counseling is one of the most important—if not the most important—parts of preparing for your wedding and future marriage. Research shows that couples who complete premarital counseling are up to 30% less likely to separate or divorce.
Premarital counseling helps strengthen the foundation of your relationship and equips you with the tools for a healthy, connected, and lasting marriage. Unlike therapy that only focuses on problems, this process is structured, proactive, and even enjoyable. Over the course of approximately 12 sessions, we’ll cover key relationship topics such as:
Conflict management
Communication skills
Finances and money values
Intimacy and expectations
Family dynamics and boundaries
Parenting styles and future planning
This work is about setting your relationship up for success—creating shared understanding, building emotional safety, and having meaningful conversations that will serve you well for years to come.

Quizás estás atravesando una gran transición, deseas mejorar tus relaciones o quieres desarrollar habilidades para vivir una vida más plena y feliz. Juntos podemos trabajar en estas inquietudes y muchas otras. Exploraremos las experiencias que te han formado, y también cómo construir la vida que deseas y que mereces.
Ofrezco terapia bilingüe combinando el inglés y el español, ideal para personas que se sienten más cómodas con un terapeuta que entienda la cultura hispana o que prefieren expresar sus emociones en español. Crear un espacio seguro, auténtico y culturalmente consciente es una prioridad en mi práctica.

The early years of clinical work can be exciting, challenging, and full of questions. Whether you're looking for space to process tough cases, grow your confidence, or build a sustainable private practice, I offer supervision and consultation grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a relational, trauma-informed lens.
Together, we can explore the clinical, personal, and practical sides of the work—including finding more ease and authenticity in the therapy room—so you feel supported as you build a practice that truly fits you.
Areas of Specialty
-
Family of Origin Trauma
Our early relationships shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. When those experiences involve emotional neglect, parentification, or unmet needs, they can leave lasting imprints—often showing up later as low self-worth, relationship anxiety, or a persistent sense of guilt and shame.
I take a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to gently explore these patterns and help you heal at the root. Our work together will center on rewriting old narratives and building a stronger sense of self, trust, and connection.
-
Anxiety
While anxiety can show up in many areas of life, I specialize in working with individuals who feel most anxious in relationships. This can look like overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or struggling to show up as your full, authentic self.
Together, we’ll explore the root of your anxiety—whether it stems from attachment wounds, past experiences, or internalized beliefs—and work to shift the patterns keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you move from self-doubt to self-trust, so you can experience more confidence, emotional safety, and secure connection in your relationships.

Couples Therapy
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in cycles of conflict, or unsure how to express your needs, couples therapy can help you rebuild trust and strengthen your bond.
I work with couples at all stages—whether you're dating, engaged, or years into a partnership. A healthy relationship is built on a strong foundation of friendship, and I believe honoring this connection can deepen trust, communication, and intimacy. Using tools from the Gottman Method and emotionally focused approaches, I’ll help you break unhelpful patterns and move toward greater emotional safety and connection.
-
Perfectionism
The drive for perfection can create stress, pressure, and dissatisfaction, often showing up in areas where we seek achievement, approval, and control—like our careers, relationships, and personal goals. Perfectionists often hold an ideal of what reality could be, and the gap between that ideal and what is can lead to fear of failure, procrastination, and difficulty accepting mistakes.
In therapy, we won’t aim to eliminate perfectionism, but rather explore when it’s a strength and when it limits your growth. Together, we’ll embrace your humanity, release unrealistic expectations, and find a more compassionate, balanced approach to reaching your goals.

Young Adulthood & Life Transitions
If you're feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt, insecurity, and uncertainty about the future during this unique phase of your life, you're not alone. But what if this time could become a journey of self-discovery, growth, and independence that feels empowering?
While "adulting" can be tough, it’s also an opportunity to take control of your life, build self-confidence, and discover what truly matters to you. I’m here to support you through career transitions, relationship challenges, and help guide you toward becoming the best version of yourself during this transformative life stage.

Latinx Experience & Immigrant Families
As a proud Latina, I deeply understand the beauty and complexity of navigating Hispanic culture. I help Latinx clients find a balance between embracing cultural ideals that align with their true selves and rejecting outdated beliefs passed down through generations.
I support clients in setting healthy boundaries with family, reducing the stigma around seeking therapy in Latinx communities, and staying connected to cultural traditions and values. Whether you’re navigating generational trauma or working to maintain your identity in a multicultural world, I’m here to help you heal, grow, and feel empowered.
