Let's work through this together.
If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and disconnected, and your current way of living feels off course, my therapeutic approach can provide the support you need. Much of our distress originates from deeply rooted, uncontrollable negative thoughts about ourselves and the world, embedded during our upbringing. Often, we remain unaware of what keeps us stuck, making it challenging to find a way out.
I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals whose lives felt unsustainable and unfulfilling, guiding them to uncover their truest, most vibrant selves. This process is not about making minor adjustments; it's about profound transformation. The life you desire is closer than you realize, but the path to it isn’t always clear when traveled alone.
Together, we will explore evidence-based techniques, enriched with the wisdom of philosophy, the tranquility of Buddhism, the strength of Stoicism, the practice of Mindfulness, and the insights of the mind-body connection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s a deep awakening, liberating you from the negative thoughts and emotions that have held you back."

Psychologist, Ph.D., Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor-II (CADC-II), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Specialist in Anger Management
As a psychologist, my passion lies in helping individuals navigate life's challenges and facilitating their journey towards growth and healing. I believe in the power of therapy to foster self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change. It is an honor to walk alongside my patients as they explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Are you feeling constantly overwhelmed, even though on paper, you’ve achieved the life you wanted? As a therapist who works with high-achieving, sensitive individuals, I understand the unique struggles of navigating life when it feels like the demands never stop, and stress or guilt are constant companions.

I provide services in Spanish + English.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Mesoamerica-Indigienous ancestry. My life exposed to community violence, trauma and intersecting oppressions has led me to the work of healing, self-discovery, exploration and ancestral healing.
I was raised in the SF Bay Area and I currently reside on the stolen lands of the Tongva peoples, colonially known as Los Angeles, California.
My lived experiences of being a person of color with intersecting identities, navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. I grew up with many years of witnessing (through family members + my community) severe mental illness, addiction, community violence, chronic suicidality, incarceration and domestic violence. Through my own stories and experiences, as a justice-oriented therapist, I aim to disrupt and dismantle these oppressive systems within myself and in my practice to make therapy a safe(r) space for folks who are targeted and made marginalized.
I believe that no matter where you’ve been, what you’ve been through, or where you are currently, there is hope. I know that life can throw some crazy curve balls and I understand how painful and earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or you may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. Because I believe the future can look different than the present and the past. Things can change. So if you feel like giving up, please give me a call instead.
Like a tree, I believe that in order to change the fruit (what is currently going on in our life), we need to look at the root. You can pick every orange off an orange tree hoping it will grow apples, but unless you change the root, it will just keep growing oranges. I believe that if we can get to the “heart” (or root) of what is happening, you will see different fruit begin to develop. Because I believe that many of life’s struggles stem from wounds of the heart. I want to help wounded hearts heal. I enjoy working with people of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds. For those who are interested in Christian Counseling, I am also trained in integrating God into that healing process.
You are wanting to get from where you are now to a different and better place. You know what you want - have always wanted - but nothing has worked. In therapy, I provide a bridge to get you there.
Welcome. You may have already tried other remedies before therapy, like forcing a smile, numbing out, self-help or beating yourself up. It can be confusing and frustrating when our old methods no longer seem to be working. And it is especially discouraging when we can sense a living ember inside, yet nothing has helped fan it into flame so far. I’m here to help you find some relief by getting in touch with those hidden parts of yourself. Book a free initial consultation with me today to begin. I am trained in depth-oriented talk therapy, mindfulness, and ecotherapy, among other modalities that can help you get to root issues and experience new growth. Through attending to your whole being (cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual presence) I believe you can find more meaning, authenticity, and joy in life.
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation. We help you learn how to ground your life in relational intelligence that brings stability to your life that your emotions then calibrate around.
Seeking out professional support can feel hard, awkward, and even subtly intimidating. As a therapist, I dedicate my job to make sure all of my clients feel safe in the space that is created between us, allowing them to name and explore the various emotional pains that may have left them feeling stuck, derailed, angry, or even hopefuless. My therapy style is a mixture of soft tenderness that helps my clients feel seen and cared for, intentional questions of curiousity that helps my clients to expand their thinking and meaning making, while also, when appropriate, to subtly challenge any false beliefs or perceptions that may be playing into the role that may be keeping them adrift.
