Clients I Work With

I work with teens and adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, unseen, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients have been told they’re “too sensitive,” feel pressure to please others, or are exhausted from carrying others’ expectations. I support individuals who replay past experiences, struggle with guilt or people-pleasing, or want to feel like themselves again. I offer an affirming space to explore childhood experiences, religious influences, ADHD, chronic stress, identity, and new ways of relating to emotions and relationships.

Approach

My approach to therapy is reflective, collaborative, and down to earth. I don’t talk at you or pretend to know exactly what it’s like to be you. I see my clients as the experts in their own lives, and my role is to help you explore, understand, and find your own way forward. I’ll sit with you (virtually), offering curiosity, support, and space rather than pressure or judgment. In our work together, you can expect a blend of creative expression, mindfulness, and evidence‑based practices grounded in CBT, ACT, DBT, Polyvagal theory, and person‑centered care. Therapy with me is human, attuned, and paced to support healing that feels authentic and sustainable.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I believe real change starts with fully accepting who we are, including the parts we wish were different. When we shame parts of ourselves, we can’t truly face them, understand them, or heal. I also believe we all need spaces where we can try new behaviors without judgment, because safety is what allows growth. These beliefs come from my own lived experience. I am a Hispanic woman, child immigrant, bisexual, and the eldest daughter and granddaughter in a deeply religious family that carried generational trauma. I grew up with depression and anxiety and was later diagnosed with ADHD. The pressure to be a role model, alongside constant reminders of my parents’ sacrifices, made finding my authentic self a long journey. This is why I value giving clients space to show up fully, reconnect with who they are, and move toward lives that align with their values, not just expectations.
