My practice centers on women's mental health, with a deep understanding of multicultural experiences and family dynamics. I bring expertise in addressing communication challenges, body image concerns, postpartum experiences, and immigration-related stress.
My bilingual background in English and Spanish allows me to connect authentically with diverse communities. I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences of guilt, shame, and personal growth.
