If you are feeling stuck in high-conflict relationships or feeling out of control, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your emotions and build healthier boundaries and relationships.

I am bilingual and offer services in Spanish as well.

I see therapy as a space where honesty, curiosity, and self-compassion can start to shift long-standing patterns. My style is direct but always grounded in care—I’ll reflect what I see with clarity while staying deeply attuned to your pace and experience. I draw from mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy to help you become more aware of your emotional responses and soften the inner criticism that often keeps you stuck. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface so you can create boundaries, make aligned choices, and feel more at home in yourself. Veo la terapia como un espacio donde la honestidad, la curiosidad y la autocompasión pueden empezar a transformar patrones arraigados. Mi estilo es directo, pero siempre basado en el cuidado: reflejaré con claridad lo que observo, manteniéndome atenta a tu ritmo y experiencia. Me apoyo en la atención plena (mindfulness) y en la terapia centrada en la compasión para ayudarte a reconocer tus respuestas emocionales y suavizar la autocrítica que a menudo te mantiene estancado. Juntos exploraremos lo que hay debajo de la superficie para que puedas establecer límites, tomar decisiones alineadas contigo mismo y sentirte más en casa dentro de ti.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing challenges in high-conflict relationships and those struggling with feeling out of control in their emotional experiences. My clients often seek support to break unhealthy patterns, set clearer boundaries, and develop greater emotional resilience. I am especially committed to creating a culturally sensitive and inclusive space, welcoming clients from diverse backgrounds, including English and Spanish speakers. Estoy dedicada a apoyar a personas que enfrentan desafíos en relaciones de alto conflicto y a quienes luchan con sentirse fuera de control en su experiencia emocional. Mis clientes suelen buscar apoyo para romper patrones poco saludables, establecer límites más claros y desarrollar una mayor resiliencia emocional. Estoy especialmente comprometida con crear un espacio culturalmente sensible e inclusivo, dando la bienvenida a clientes de diversos orígenes, incluidos hablantes de inglés y español.
My communication style is warm, honest, and a little playful when it fits. I’ll show up as my real self—curious, direct, and always rooting for your growth. Whether that means asking thoughtful questions, gently challenging old habits, or sharing an insight with a sense of humor, I aim to create a space that feels both safe and real—where you can breathe, be human, and start making meaningful changes. Mi estilo de comunicación es cálido, honesto y un poco juguetón cuando es apropiado. Me presentaré tal como soy: curiosa, directa y siempre apoyando tu crecimiento. Ya sea haciendo preguntas reflexivas, desafiando suavemente hábitos antiguos o compartiendo una reflexión con sentido del humor, mi objetivo es crear un espacio que se sienta seguro y auténtico, donde puedas respirar, ser humano y comenzar a hacer cambios significativos.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My path to becoming a therapist began with my own healing journey—experiencing firsthand how growth, understanding, and being truly heard can shift even the most painful moments. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people begin to understand the roots of their suffering, and I felt called to be a supportive listener and soundboard for others. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Mexico and worked in high-level care settings before continuing my work in the U.S., where I now specialize in high-conflict relationships. What keeps me grounded in this work is a deep belief in people’s capacity to grow and heal. My approach is guided by compassion, integrity, and genuine care, and I hope clients leave our sessions feeling seen, understood, and a little less overwhelmed. Mi camino como terapeuta nació de mi propio proceso de sanación y de haber experimentado cómo el ser escuchado con empatía puede transformar el sufrimiento. Estudié en México, trabajé en contextos de atención intensiva y hoy me especializo en relaciones de alto conflicto en EE.?UU. Me guían la compasión, la integridad y el cuidado genuino, y deseo que en terapia te sientas visto, comprendido y menos abrumado.
We’ll work together to clarify what matters most to you and what you’d like to shift—whether that’s setting healthier boundaries, feeling more emotionally grounded, improving communication, or breaking old relationship patterns. Some clients come in wanting to stop overthinking, feel more confident, or simply learn how to say “no” with less overwhelming guilt. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all goals; instead, we’ll check in regularly and adjust things as you grow. Therapy is a space where your goals can evolve, and I’m here to support that process with curiosity, honesty, and care.
