Two key factors shaped my path to becoming a therapist. Growing up the bicultural and bilingual child of divorced parents, I split my time between Mexico City and San Antonio, Texas. I struggled with my mental health as a teen and young adult, and received transformative help from caring professionals. These experiences helped build the insight and compassion that I bring to my practice and inform how I understand and support the people I have the privilege to work with.

I have a decade of experience as a school counselor in independent high schools in the Bay Area, working with a diverse range of teenagers and their families to address the roadblocks teens encounter as they develop into young adults. I specializing in working with teenagers, as well as bicultural individuals and those seeking to address childhood traumatic experiences.
