Therapy style
I am a bilingual, Latina, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for serving and helping others heal.
My mission is to create a space where transparency, compassion, and vulnerability exist, ultimately leading to a more empowering life. Having gone to therapy in my early twenties, I understand that expressing our struggles is one of the most difficult things one can do. Therapy can be very intimidating because we are confronting the very thing we have avoided for so long. Let me walk alongside you step by step, as you take on your greatest journey towards healing.
