Serving California

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you’re new to parenthood, new to therapy, or both, you’re in good hands.

You are not alone. While this journey can feel incredibly isolating, there is a difference between being alone and feeling alone. That difference matters, and we can navigate it together. You are a human being having a human experience, and you deserve support along the way.

My own perinatal journey profoundly changed my life, and it’s what led me to dedicate my work to supporting other mothers. I am a survivor of postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, perinatal OCD, intrusive thoughts, and birth trauma-twice. Alongside my lived experience, I have received specialized training through Postpartum Support International.

I’m a mother of two wonderful children and the daughter of an immigrant single mother. I hold deep respect for the unique lived experiences of Latina mamas and other marginalized women of color. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me spending time in nature, walking (and splashing) in the rain or sunshine, tending to my garden, bugs notwithstanding, and loving life with my four dogs.

My approach to therapy is individualized, compassionate, and rooted in curiosity. I strive to create a space where all are welcome. I am an affirming ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and provide anti-oppressive, culturally responsive care.

My work is informed by Narrative Therapy, grounded in the belief that each person has a unique story that deserves to be heard and honored. Together, we may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; mindfulness and nature-based practices to calm the nervous system; and psychoeducation to help you better understand what you’re experiencing. I also offer supportive resources such as books, podcasts, videos, and practical tools to help you navigate life between sessions.

If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. It would be an honor to walk alongside you during this chapter of your life.
