I believe that what we carry didn't begin with us.  The anxiety that wakes you at 3 am, the relationships that keep fracturing in familiar ways, the sense of never quite belonging - these often have roots that reach back long before your own birth.  Trauma passed down through generations, cultural expectations, family wounds never named - all

of it lives in us, quietly shaping how we move through the world.  Trauma-informed care is at the foundation of everything I do.

​

I work with teens and young adults finding their footing, women standing at the threshold of their next chapter, mothers navigating

the evolving relationship with their adult children, and Latinas carrying the complexity of bicultural life.  Each of these journeys is unique - and each desrves care that honors the whole person.

​

As a woman, mother, wife, sister and daughter, I have lived these seasons myself.  I know what it means to wrestle with identity, carry your family's hopes, and do your own deep work of becoming - not just as a therapist, but as a human being who is learning and growing.  That lived experience, alongside over 25 years of clinical practice, is what I bring to every session.
