As a Bilingual Spanish-speaking psychotherapist in Chicago, I offer culturally responsive therapy in both English and Spanish to help individuals navigate trauma, identity, and emotional challenges with compassion and clarity. Whether you’re struggling to express your emotions, feel disconnected from yourself, or find it hard to stay motivated, you are not alone—and healing is possible.

Many clients I work with feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, shame, or loneliness—especially those facing bicultural stress, generational trauma, or feelings of not belonging. Therapy can be a space to break through those patterns and reconnect with your sense of self-worth.

It is possible to mend your pain and find inner peace within yourself!

As a first-generation Latina from the south side of Chicago, I understand the weight of cultural and societal expectations. I’m passionate about helping others heal from internalized messages of “not being enough” and walk beside them as they discover inner peace and personal growth.

I am a fifth-year doctoral student in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at Adler University and currently completing my pre-doctoral internship at the National Psychological Consortium in Kansas City, Missouri. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, substance abuse, and sexual assault. I’ve also worked with students and families around issues of bicultural identity, belonging, and communication across generations.

My approach is warm, affirming, and strengths-based, and I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I work especially well with first-generation clients, students, Latinx individuals, and anyone navigating complex emotional landscapes rooted in culture, family, or identity.
