I am proud to say that I am first and foremost a dedicated mother to two amazing children. Through both my personal and professional experiences, I have specialized in working with special needs families, a passion that was ignited by my extraordinary son, who has an extra sprinkle of ASD. Being raised by a single mother and surrounded by a strong community of Latinas, I have had to navigate the expectations and judgments of a traditional Mexican household. This clash of cultures and generational trauma has shaped my journey and instilled in me a drive to overcome obstacles. As a first-generation college graduate and a woman in a leadership position at a prominent mental health organization, I have learned that being “the first” can be a superpower and a driving force for personal growth. Alongside my professional accomplishments, I have also developed a deep appreciation for coffee – a small indulgence that brings joy to my life.

Since becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2016, I have built over 14 years of experience working with minors, couples, and families. I am also endorsed by the State of California as an Infant Family Early Childhood Mental Health (IFECMH) Specialist and am particularly passionate about dyadic work. Parenting has been a humbling experience for me, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where parents can feel heard, ask questions, heal, and grow. My professional expertise lies in working with individuals and families facing challenges related to attachment, depression, anxiety, and various forms of grief and trauma, whether it be from childhood or more recent experiences.

Have you ever found yourself questioning why you react in a certain way? Or spoken words in the heat of the moment, unsure if they truly represent who you are? Maybe you’ve felt safe in some relationships and not in others, or experienced guilt after making a particular choice. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of the complex dynamics of your different cultures. If any of these resonate with you, know that you are not alone. My approach to therapy centers around active reflection and pushing our limits, allowing for greater insight, empowerment, and healing. While working in the present can offer quick gratification, it is equally important to explore how our past experiences ripple through our lives, shaping the beautifully dynamic individuals we are today. This exploration can lead to gratitude, acceptance, and self-love. By loving ourselves and embracing every piece of who we are, we open ourselves up to love others and receive love in return. Healing is possible. This space is for you. Together, we can dive right into the depths or gently dip our toes into the water – whatever feels right for you.
