Introduction:

As a bilingual therapist, I aim to help others discover their strengths and ability to accomplish and overcome their struggles. I strive to be a voice for those who feel unheard in society. I strive to assist others to gain coping skills to overcome life stressors and triggers. I am fully bilingual and offer sessions in English and Spanish. I work with children, teenagers, and adults helping them build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, strengthen coping skills, and improve social interactions. I am trained in SMART Recovery and offer support in managing urges and overcoming addiction. 

I'm a therapist dedicated to empowering individuals by helping them discover their inner strengths through evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My approach is hands-on incorporating visuals, self-reflection, and self-soothing techniques to support meaningful growth and emotional resilience. 

I am currently a therapist with Pathways to Connections offering individual tele-therapy (mental health counseling over the phone or video). With a background in working with both teens and adults, I strive to create a supportive, engaging space where clients feel safe, understood, equipped, and encouraged throughout their healing journey. 


Education/Qualification(s)

I am a licensed master’s level social worker (LMSW).
