It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a therapist, and you've taken that first step already. I don't know your story yet, but if you are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or loss, you don't need to go through it alone. You deserve support, comfort, and help. Whatever you're struggling with, you're invited to my office—in person or virtual—for a conversation.
I'm an open, gentle, sometimes sarcastic person. Therapy usually involves grappling with some uncomfortable feelings, but my clients and I also often joke and laugh in our meetings. I have training and experience dealing with a range of issues from grief to ADHD, but everyone's path is unique. I'd love to walk with you for as long as I can be helpful.

I’m fascinated by how complex we are as human beings and how enriching our emotional and social experiences can be. I find that what’s most helpful in therapy is to take time to find the strength in the individuals and families I meet. I was born and raised in Mexico, which gives me the ability to provide therapy fluently in Spanish as well as in English along with a personal understanding of Latino culture, American culture and multicultural relationships. I also have a connection with Deaf culture in Minnesota and deep respect for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Soy de México, lo que me dá la habilidad de dar consejería en Español o en Inglés con un entendimiento de la cultura y familias Latinas. Me va a dar gusto conocerte y entender por lo que estás pasando.

I have a true passion for helping people of all ages build on their inner strengths and break free from negative thought and behavior patterns that get in the way of living a healthy balanced life. I use an integrative framework, drawing from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other treatment approaches, tailored to meet each person where they are in their own unique journey towards growth and healing.
I work with ages 18 and up, and have a special interest in anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma treatment. My top priority is to ensure effective therapeutic treatment, while providing a compassionate, trusting, and non-judgmental environment for everyone.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, the changes we face can feel overwhelming, painful, or isolating. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, a major transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a powerful step forward. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change: after a loss, during pregnancy or postpartum, in early recovery, or while trying to make sense of a new chapter in life.
I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy. That means we’ll work together at your pace. I’m also a LADC, so I often support clients dealing with overlapping mental health and substance use concerns. I have training in advanced perinatal mental health, and experience working with individuals navigating complex emotional patterns.

Therapy can be a space for deep healing, and it starts with feeling safe, seen, and supported. If you're navigating relationships, healing from trauma, or managing long-standing patterns rooted in attachment wounds, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate space to help you process the past and reconnect with your strength in the present. My training includes EMDR, somatic, energy psychology, and cognitive-behavioral tools to help rewire thought patterns and support the nervous system in releasing stored emotional pain, often leading to long-lasting, transformational change.
Healing doesn't have to be rushed. My approach is calm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your pace. Whether you are carrying trauma in your body or feel like life is just "too much", let’s see together how we can help you get on an easier, happier road.

You want to be strong for everyone—but inside, you're exhausted. I help kids, parents, and families feel seen, supported, and capable again. You’re trying your best, but lately it feels like nothing is working. Whether you're navigating anxiety, mood swings, ADHD, or family tension, it’s hard to keep holding it all together. I support children, teens, parents, and young adults through life’s messier moments—offering a space to be honest, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and build a toolkit that empowers you or your child to feel more confident, connected, and emotionally steady.
I’ve worked in mental health since 2017 and specialize in supporting families, youth, and individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Clients describe me as grounding and relatable. My sessions blend mindfulness, CBT, and solution-focused strategies—customized to your needs and goals.
Therapy with me is collaborative, strengths-based, and flexible. Whether we’re navigating crisis or setting long-term goals, you’ll leave each session with insight and tangible tools to move forward. Let’s connect and talk through what’s been weighing on you—healing starts here.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, burnout, parenting stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting how you function day-to-day. I work with adults navigating emotional overwhelm, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, neurodiversity, and the pressures of modern life. I also work well with analytical and high-achieving individuals, including those in engineering and problem-solving professions. I especially enjoy supporting individuals exploring late-diagnosed ADHD, including individuals learning how neurodiversity has shaped their relationships, work, identity, and emotional well-being.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to help clients better understand themselves while building practical tools for emotional regulation, stress management, boundaries, communication, and self-compassion.
I also support parents navigating postpartum changes, shifting identities, burnout, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Many of my clients are feeling emotionally exhausted by the pace and uncertainty of modern life and are looking for ways to feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable. Reach out to see if we may be a good fit!

I am passionate about helping others thrive, not just survive, on their journey. I have a special interest in family of origin issues, pre-marriage counseling, divorce, remarriage, blended families, and codependency issues. I also specialize in grief counseling, life transitions, career development, and spiritual concerns.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with individual adults using a systemic, strengths-based, positive, solution-focused, integrative approach. For clients who are interested, I also provide Prepare/Enrich Relationship and CliftonStrengths assessments.

I focus on learning who a person is uniquely, and I take an active role in treatment, offering genuine warmth and support as well as practical feedback. I draw from various theoretical approaches but commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindful self-compassion, Exposure Response Prevention, and Internal Family Systems. As a licensed clinical social worker I have had the pleasure of working in cities across the United States with a wide range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
I work with individuals 18 and older, and my areas of special interest include anxiety, OCD, mindfulness, self-compassion, and climate-conscious therapy (support for anxiety/distress about our changing ecosystem).

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with clients using curiosity and understanding to explore the roadblocks that keep them from becoming who they want to be. I typically work with teenagers and adults, and am open to working with individuals, couples, or families. Many of my clients feel stuck or disconnected from themselves or from the people they care about. Together, we work to understand what’s going on and how to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, and I’ll always meet you where you’re at. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, all tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here when you’re ready.
