At a Glance
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been in practice for over ten years. I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.
As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.
I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.
Background & Experience
I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals.
As a humanistic therapist, my primary goal is to provide a warm and inviting space for your sessions where you will feel supported, validated, and respected. I will help you to challenge your beliefs when appropriate and consider new perspectives and ideas along your therapeutic journey. Collaboration is key—we’ll work together to establish goals that are meaningful to you and address your unique needs. I enjoy providing psycho-education on positive coping strategies and would love to help you build confidence in your ability to manage life’s stressors.
In my personal life, I enjoy singing and playing various stringed instruments, exploring my passion for interior design, and expanding my collection of vinyl records. You can often find me exploring Disneyland or supporting the local music and art scene alongside my husband and 1-year-old daughter.
