I was raised between languages, between expectations. I've come to understand that being bicultural isn't a conflict to solve; it's a wisdom to hold. My ability to move between cultures with empathy has become one of my greatest strengths in therapy. Whether you're navigating identity, immigration, generational tension, or simply trying to belong, I know how complex that journey is.

I was raised Catholic, so faith was always there. My views are progressive and inclusive, and I carry forward the parts of my faith that shaped me: dignity, compassion, and care for the most vulnerable. My work is rooted in values, not judgment.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I work with teens and adults in English and Spanish diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and complex trauma, as well as those who don't have a specific diagnosis but know something feels hard right now. Before this, I spent years in Human Resources, sitting with people through burnout and the quiet weight of responsibility, and that work is part of what led me here. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical, grounded in your strengths and values, not just your struggles.

I believe in creating space for immigrants, for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, for people impacted by incarceration, and for those living with disabilities. And I believe in progress: political, scientific, educational, and cultural. Because care without change isn't enough.
