Find Your Counselor

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness.

Life can feel overwhelming, heavy, and uncertain at times—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe environment where healing, growth, and self-discovery can unfold at your own pace. I’m here to walk alongside you and support you through life’s challenges. As a bilingual and bicultural (Spanish-English) Latina therapist, I am passionate about creating a therapeutic space that honors your identity, culture, and lived experiences. I understand how meaningful it is to feel welcomed and represented in therapy. Whether you’re seeking extra support, working through past experiences, or hoping to strengthen your coping skills, we will build a collaborative relationship centered on your goals and needs. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and Brainspotting to support healing and emotional well-being. I am also certified in domestic violence training and have experience supporting survivors with sensitivity, empowerment, and care. Reaching out for therapy takes courage. It would be an honor to hear your story and support you on your healing journey.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with ten years of experience in psychiatry and medication management. I've had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds overcome a variety of mental health challenges, from depression and anxiety to more complex conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Throughout my career, I've become increasingly passionate about the importance of accessible mental health care. I firmly believe that everyone should have access to high-quality mental health services, regardless of their age, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle. Unfortunately, many barriers to care still prevent people from getting the help they need, such as long wait times, limited insurance coverage, and stigmatization. That's why I've made it my mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is accessible and inclusive to all. Whether you're struggling with a mental health issue for the first time or have been living with a condition for years, I'm here to help. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, and I always strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard and supported. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don't hesitate to reach out!

As a graduate of Colorado State University-Pueblo in May 2025, I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in August 2025. I am also a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and a Social Work Candidate (SWC). With over 7 years of experience in human services, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, supporting families involved with the Department of Human Services as a life skills worker. Additionally, I spent a year providing clinical services as a therapist during my final year of school. Working in this field has allowed me to truly appreciate the significance of mental health stability, particularly during difficult life transitions. I understand that life’s obstacles can feel overwhelming at times, making the path forward seem daunting. It’s completely normal to feel as though you’re carrying a heavy burden, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

Healthy communication and exploring the next steps in your life can be empowering and essential for healing, whether you are dealing with depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, stress, trauma, maladaptive behaviors, or concerns about self-esteem. My aim is to collaborate with you, providing support and understanding as we work together. I am dedicated to helping you raise awareness around your feelings and experiences, equipping you with therapeutic tools to foster growth in the areas that matter most to you. I am passionate about using evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused brief therapy, to help you overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship with you. Together, we can embark on this journey toward healing and positive change, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.

Every story carries sacred significance, intricately woven with threads of culture, heritage, courage, pain, and personal history. As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the importance of representation in therapy and the power of being truly seen. Many of my clients come in feeling disconnected from who they are or unsure of how their experiences have shaped them. I use a person-centered and trauma-informed lens approach to guide our work together, honoring your story while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support practical growth and emotional understanding. If you are ready to explore your story—untangling what no longer serves you and strengthening the threads that sustain you—I invite you to reach out. Together, we can weave a path toward healing, growth, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
