My Therapy Approach
What to expect on our journey.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, full of responsibilities, stress, or uncertainty about what’s next. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what’s happening.
In our sessions, you’ll have the freedom to show up exactly as you are. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and offer perspectives that can help you see things in new ways. Together, we’ll untangle what’s weighing you down, explore patterns that no longer serve you, and build coping skills that last long after therapy ends.
My approach looks at your whole self—your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and life experiences—while helping you feel grounded and supported in the present. I draw on evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, emotionally focused work, and body-based awareness. The work we do together is designed to be meaningful, practical, and lasting.
Area of Specialty & Interest: Anxiety Disorders; Work-Life Balance, Life Transitions, Grief & Loss, Peri-menopause/Menopause, and Adult ADHD

Be the best version of yourself
As a Latinx therapist, I’m passionate about creating an inclusive and affirming space where people from all backgrounds and identities feel seen and supported. With over 20 years of experience, I work with high-functioning professionals and caregivers who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, overthinking, work-life balance and burnout, major life transitions, relationship struggles, grief and loss, perimenopause and menopause changes, and adult ADHD.
I see therapy as a space for healing, growth, and reconnecting with your true self, especially during times of uncertainty. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, untangle unhelpful patterns, and build strategies that help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to what matters most. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to support you.

Work-Life Balance
Professionals in high-stress positions often wrestle with the demands of sustaining a work-life balance. When you feel as if one side of your life is using too much of your energy while your personal interests are on the sidelines, it can become stressful. As a result, many of my clients experience low productivity or motivation in the workplace, interpersonal conflicts, body tension, or low mood. A good work-life balance means creating harmony between different areas of your life involving work.
Adult ADHD
Many adults have been living with Adult ADHD and don’t recognize it. Why? Its symptoms are often mistaken for a stressful life. If you’ve felt this type of frustration most of your life, you may have Adult ADHD. I support young adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Adult ADHD) related challenges that impact them in school, work, and relationships. I help them better understand themselves and build upon their strengths. Together, we navigate through the stressors of emerging adulthood, move through uncertainty with acceptance, and develop strategies that increase self-confidence.
We want to see you happy
Give yourself the opportunity to get the support you deserve.
