I specialize in supporting teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, career concerns, and self-esteem issues. As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish), I offer culturally responsive care in both languages. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients explore thought and behavior patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and improve relationships. I take a person-centered and strengths-based approach, believing each client has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.
