Biography
I help children, adolescents, and young adults navigate trauma, emotional challenges, identity, and life transitions while building resilience and confidence. As a first-generation Latina and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a culturally aware, compassionate approach to therapy. Using TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, and narrative techniques, I help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.
