I am committed to providing a compassionate and welcoming environment where children, teens, adults, and families can feel supported as they explore emotions, build stronger relationships, and work through life’s challenges.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, using a culturally responsive, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach. As a bilingual clinician in English and Spanish, I strive to honor each client’s culture, identity, experiences, and individual goals. I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma and violence, and understand how essential a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is to the process. I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable for youl, while supporting you in developing healthy coping skills, processing difficult experiences, and recognizing your strengths. When helping children and adolescents, I use developmentally appropriate strategies to encourage emotional expression, self-understanding, confidence, and healthy relationships.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and came to Ivy Creek Therapy after years in a nonprofit setting. My approach is individualized and may incorporate Talk Therapy, Person-Centered, Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I feel honored to support you through challenges and in discovering your inner strengths.
