I provide a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Whether you’re looking to heal, find balance, or simply just have someone in your corner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in working with caregivers of loved ones with special needs/chronic illness, maternal mental health, and borderline personality disorder. I also enjoy practicing family therapy.
I offer years of experience supporting individuals coping with the stress that accompanies being a caregiver. I love supporting the interpersonal relationships within a family and helping everyone in a family unit understand each other and "speak the same language".
I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, meeting you where you are and working together to create a form of therapy that feels right for your goals. If I sound like someone you could connect with, reach out, and we can set up a free consultation. I would love to hear more about you!

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, or major transitions like starting a new job, entering adulthood, or adjusting to change. You don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we work together to help you gain insight, build confidence, and reconnect with your strengths. My therapeutic style is warm, patient, and flexible. I take an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to fit your needs while we move at your pace.
I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based framework. I welcome clients of all ages and enjoy helping individuals and couples through periods of personal growth, identity development, and transition.

You’re driven, capable, and often seen as “doing fine”—even when you feel overwhelmed inside. Maybe anxiety is showing up before tests, games, or social situations. Maybe you’re questioning who you are outside of school, your sport, or others' expectations. I work with preteens, teens, and young adults to slow down, manage anxiety, build confidence, and reconnect with what matters. You don’t have to do it all alone—and you don’t have to have it all figured out.
My approach is warm, direct, and strengths-based. I lead with empathy while also holding space for accountability. We’ll build on what’s working, explore what’s getting in the way, and take practical steps toward change so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
I just elected a membership with Association for Social Work in Sport (ASWIS). This is a Professional Member of the Association for Social Work in Sport (ASWIS), a national organization dedicated to advancing mental health care for athletes.

Life is always challenging, and my goal as a therapist is to work alongside you to address issues that are keeping you from living life according to your expectations. I believe in leveraging your strengths, your unique sense of self, and resources, to work towards your personal or relational goals. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples in non-profit, residential facilities, in-home, and outpatient settings across the Twin Cities area.
My primary specialty area is working with families and couples with high conflict. Other specialty areas include cross-cultural issues, relationship issues, communication issues, parental issues, anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. I speak fluent Mandarin, Cantonese and intermediate Malay. I am trained in EMDR and am an Enrich/Prepare facilitator.

I’m fascinated by how complex we are as human beings and how enriching our emotional and social experiences can be. I find that what’s most helpful in therapy is to take time to find the strength in the individuals and families I meet. I was born and raised in Mexico, which gives me the ability to provide therapy fluently in Spanish as well as in English along with a personal understanding of Latino culture, American culture and multicultural relationships. I also have a connection with Deaf culture in Minnesota and deep respect for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Soy de México, lo que me dá la habilidad de dar consejería en Español o en Inglés con un entendimiento de la cultura y familias Latinas. Me va a dar gusto conocerte y entender por lo que estás pasando.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate difficult emotions, life transitions, and experiences that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone. My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, meaning I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over four years working in emergency room and inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute mental health crises. This experience shaped my trauma-informed perspective and deepened my understanding of how challenging and isolating mental health struggles can feel.
During my clinical training, I was also introduced to EMDR concepts while working with trauma-related concerns under supervision. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults and aim to create a supportive space where clients can develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful growth.
