Professional statement

I have experience with multiple populations; from children, teens, couples, and families to the individual seeking therapy. As human beings, it is paramount that we feel seen and known. As a Latina, I also have a desire to provide resources for black and brown people who have felt barred from therapy due to stigma within these communities. I hope you allow me the opportunity to provide a space for you on your healing journey.

Currently, I reside on the northwest side of Chicago. I was born and raised on the north side and am a pizza connoisseur of sorts. Fall and summer are my favorite seasons. In my free time, I am an outdoor enthusiast and often can be found hiking, running, kayaking, or camping alongside friends and family.


Message to clients

Through my work with children, teens, and adults I see a myriad of presenting issues. Anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, family of origin struggles, and issues with spirituality are just a picture of issues discussed within sessions. I pull from multiple schools of therapy to provide a tailored approach to each individual client and their needs.

As a person who has also been in tough seasons, I know the difficulty of seeking help. I have felt the tension of delayed answers and overwhelming grief and learned that it’s unhealthy to be an island in that. If you feel that you’re in that place right now, then please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a session.
