Through my own healing journey, I came to understand how powerful therapy can be—and that’s what inspires the work I do today. That early realization lit a spark in me—a deep passion to one day offer that same healing space to others. My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by that drive: to walk alongside others through their challenges, and to provide the kind of care and understanding that made such a difference in my own life.
Born in Nicaragua and eventually raised in the Bay Area, I bring a unique perspective to my work that welcomes people from all walks of life. My journey has given me an acute sensitivity to the complex intersections of cultural identity and mental health, especially for communities of color and underserved populations.
My therapeutic approach is both holistic and personalized, drawing from various modalities. I prioritize centering your experience and crafting a therapy that works specifically for you—you are unique, and your therapy should be too. I am passionate about supporting clients through the lasting impacts of adversity, trauma stemming from early life or overwhelming life experiences. Modalities I draw from the most include Attachment, Somatic, Narrative, EMDR, Child Parent Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavioral therapy. I am trauma-informed and trained to gently help you reconnect with yourself and move toward meaningful change. My practice is insight-oriented and strengths-based.
I believe in meeting you exactly where you are in your journey, drawing on a blend of:
Attachment-based therapy
Trauma-informed care
Somatic approaches
Narrative therapy
Strength-based interventions
Cultural awareness
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)
My work is guided by a deep commitment to providing equitable mental healthcare and creating lasting, positive change.

For all other insurance, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
