I keep a strong tie to my Latinx heritage. I am a native Spanish-speaker and I am passionate about serving the Spanish-speaking and Latinx community. I work best with clients who are facing depression, anxiety, esteem issues, intergenerational cultural conflict, mood dysregulation, and life transitions. I help clients develop effective communication, set boundaries, devise a toolkit of coping skills, and build a life worth living. I enjoy working with all diverse populations that face unique challenges in life.

I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine connection with my clients and creating a space that is free of judgement. I believe that humor and lightheartedness have a vital place in therapy. I take a Person-Centered and Humanistic approach in therapy. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based approaches.
I am a born and raised Renoite and UNR Alumni. I completed my Master’s degree in Social Work in 2018 and have worked with adolescents, young adults, and their families ever since. When I am not in the therapist chair I enjoy reading memoirs, attending concerts, yoga, mindful walks, and occasionally watching terrible reality TV.
