Driven by a commitment to combat the stigma surrounding mental health, especially within communities of color, I embarked on my therapeutic journey. As a first-generation Mexican American therapist, I bring a culturally sensitive approach to my practice. Employing modalities such as Narrative Therapy, DBT, CBT, Play Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management, relationship issues, self-esteem, and work-life balance for clients of all ages. Since graduating from Dominican University with an MSW and later obtaining an LSW license, I provide a safe, non-judgmental, client-centered space for healing and growth. With several years of experience in therapy, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where individuals can explore and thrive. Outside of my professional life, I am a loving mother of three who finds joy in video games, makeup artistry, Lifetime movies, and engaging with music and podcasts.
