About Me

As a bilingual/bicultural Latino psychotherapist, I am committed to a culturally grounded approach to the healing process. From a place of deep respect, I honor your voice and believe you already have the wisdom and ability to heal by connecting to your core Self and all of your parts. I have worked in community mental health clinics, in the nonprofit sector, and I’ve been in private practice for the past 15 years. I work with preteens, teens, adults, couples and families. I specialize in trauma.

​

I am licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists as well as the Redwood Empire chapter of CAMFT. I am a member of EMDRIA and a certified EMDR therapist. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems having completed a Level 2 training in the U.S. through the IFS Institute. I am currently working towards my IFS certification.

​

My other passions are yoga, hiking, farmers markets, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and being in Nature. Proximity to redwood trees always settles my soul.
