Services
I provide individual therapy for adults (18 and older) in California. I am not licensed in any other state, so I am unable to work with you if you’re not in California.
I usually meet with people once or twice each week, because I think that helps us deepen into your concerns and work together on your goals.
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
I am currently only offering therapy via telehealth using secure video conference. If you are looking for in-person therapy, please let me know as I may be able to offer that in the future.
I provide therapy in Spanish, English, and Spanglish.

What therapy with me is like
Our time will be spent talking about who you are, how you became you, what you are experiencing now, and your dreams and longings for your life. If you’d like, we may also experiment with some movements and mindfulness to help your connection with your body.
We will attune to how you see the world and to your patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. We’ll spend time exploring how your past has shaped you. And we’ll tend to the ways you are hurting and disconnected from your self and your body, and imagine what healing and thriving could be like.
My clinical style is curious and non-directive, and I don’t have a set structure for sessions. We will start with whatever is on your mind, follow your lead, and move at your pace.
I am a real person in the session with you, and will listen actively and reflect honestly. People I work with tend to find me calm, caring, and genuine. I believe healing and change happen in safe, authentic relationships, and I will work to build that with you within the structure of therapy.
