Hi there, I'm Alba!

I am a bilingual therapist who supports adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. As a Latinx immigrant, I bring a culturally informed, compassionate lens to therapy and am especially supportive of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients, offering a safe, collaborative space for meaningful growth.

My focus

I work with adults, parents, and LGBTQIA+ clients navigating identity, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, separation, divorce, and other major life changes. I am especially attuned to BIPOC experiences and learn about each client’s culture to guide our work in a meaningful, empowering, and inclusive way.

My approach

I use an eclectic, trauma-informed approach blending CBT, mindfulness, person-centered work, solution-focused strategies, and psychodynamic insight. When helpful, we explore how upbringing and early experiences influence your presenting concerns and relational patterns. Each session is safe, culturally aware, and tailored to you.
