I am a cisgender, Hispanic, immigrant, queer woman, wife, mother, artist, cancer survivor, friend, and dog lover. Each of these experiences is part of my story, shaping the way I see the world and connect with others. I believe our stories shape who we are, but they do not define us. We are more than the experiences we have lived through; we also have the capacity to learn, grow, and redefine the paths we take.
My personal journey toward healing and self-understanding developed alongside my professional training. Over time, I became increasingly certain that I wanted to bring these experiences and everything I had learned into a profession centered on helping others navigate their own journeys.
I believe that understanding ourselves is essential to developing emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to create meaningful change. After completing my training and becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I wanted to deepen my understanding of how people learn, how we make sense of our experiences, and what allows us to translate new insights into lasting change. This curiosity led me to pursue a Doctorate in Education, specializing in Organizational Leadership.
Today, my work as a therapist is guided by curiosity, empathy, and a genuine passion for learning and personal growth. I see therapy as a space where you can become more aware of your experiences, recognize the patterns influencing your life, and discover new ways of understanding and responding to challenges. My goal is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make, but to help you uncover the knowledge and strengths you already carry and use them as a foundation for the changes you want to make.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself. And sometimes, having the space and support to do that can make all the difference.
