My communication style

My communication style is honest, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, allowing clients to feel at ease while engaging in meaningful reflection. I use open-ended questions to guide exploration and invite feedback to ensure therapy feels supportive, relevant, and aligned with your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in Boyle Heights, I witnessed the impact of injustice and adversity, shaping my passion for mental health and social justice. My work in Skid Row deepened my empathy and commitment to serving others. I’m honored to support clients as they heal, grow, and create more fulfilling, balanced lives.

My goals for you

At the beginning of therapy, we’ll collaborate to clarify your goals and expectations for treatment. Together, we’ll develop a plan that reflects your values, strengths, and hopes for change. Throughout our work, I regularly revisit these goals to ensure therapy remains focused, flexible, and responsive to your evolving needs.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I strive to make our first session comfortable and grounding. We’ll explore your goals, history, and reasons for seeking therapy. I listen with care, validate your experiences, and create a safe, supportive space that builds trust and collaboration from the start.
