Hi there, I'm Joanna!

I am a first-generation Mexican-American psychotherapist. I am passionate about mental health and helping others.

My focus

If you're feeling alone, misunderstood, or like a burden to those around you, I am here to hold space for you. Sometimes life can feel dark, stagnant, or not what we expected it to be, and a simple “it gets better, hang in there” isn't helpful. I can help you process emotions, gain perspective, and develop tools to help life feel meaningful again.

My approach

I have experience in trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life transitions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I adapt my methods to support you in your journey towards healing.
