About

Honoring your past. Embracing your future.

You don’t have to carry the weight of your past alone. I am here to help you navigate the complexities of your inner world with a decade of mental health expertise and a deep commitment to the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. After 10 years in the field, I’ve seen that true healing happens when we stop fighting ourselves and start listening. As a Level 1 Trained IFS therapist, I help you identify the different "parts" of your personality—the ones that feel anxious, the ones that protect you, and the ones that carry old wounds. By approaching your mind with curiosity instead of judgment, we can: • Unburden the pain of depression and anxiety. • Restore balance to your internal system. • Heal the relational patterns that keep you feeling stuck. I don’t just teach this modality; I live it. IFS has been the catalyst for my own personal healing, and I bring that authentic belief in the "Self" to every session. Whether you are navigating family conflict or personal struggle, I am here to guide you back to your most confident, compassionate, and courageous self. Your best self is already within you. Let’s go find it together. I’m Bilingual Spanish-speaking LCSW. I am empathetic, genuine and I value empowering others. Hope to see you soon!
