I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California, providing therapy in both English and Spanish. As a bilingual Latina of Salvadoran and Venezuelan heritage, born and raised in the Bay Area, I am deeply connected to the diverse communities I serve. My practice welcomes individuals and families from all backgrounds, and I am honored to support clients who identify as Latino/a or are seeking culturally responsive care.

​

For those who value faith in their healing process, I offer a Catholic, faith-based perspective for clients interested in integrating spirituality into their therapeutic journey. Please refer to my Faith-Based Work section for additional details.

 

I also have personal and professional experience with Type 1 Diabetes and am committed to supporting individuals and families affected by T1D. I understand the unique challenges that come with managing chronic health conditions and strive to provide compassionate, informed care.

 

My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Spanish from St. Mary’s College of California, and a Master’s and Doctorate (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University. Since 2018, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults, and am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Perinatal Mental Health.

 

My therapeutic approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and strength-based practices. I believe in a collaborative process, where you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to accompany and support you through life’s challenges—whether current or rooted in the past.

 

If you are seeking a compassionate, culturally attuned, and faith-sensitive therapist, I invite you to reach out. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
