My Approach to Helping

I aim to create safe and supportive spaces where we can explore difficult emotions and experiences together. My hope is to help you gain perspective on the stressors in your life and develop effective ways to navigate them. I value a strengths-based approach, so that we can build on the abilities and resilience you already have. My work is informed by a variety of therapeutic techniques, including relational therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness and skill-based interventions including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or other challenges, I’m here to support you.

My Values as a Therapist

As a Mexican-American woman, I have a particular focus on supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, however, I am open to working with individuals from all backgrounds. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University in June 2021 and am committed to promoting social justice, advocating for equitable access to resources, and empowering those who have been historically marginalized.
