Clinical Director + Bilingual Therapist (English/Español)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker #92159

Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician

Acknowledging your emotional pain and accessing help are the first steps towards wellness. You deserve the highest of praise for loving yourself and your family enough to embark on the path towards healing.

I am so glad you are here!

My professional career has afforded me the privilege to work extensively with and advocate for families in distress for over 14 years. I have had the honor to hold space for parents and caregivers enduring the pressure of navigating circumstances which come with:

Chronic Illness / Pregnancy and Neonatal Loss / Termination For Medical Reasons / High-Risk Pregnancy / Fertility Challenges / Traumatic Birth Experiences / NICU Admissions / Trauma Within the Medical Environment

Healing can come from within, with the right therapeutic interventions. As an EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems) trained clinician, we can weave these transformative modalities into our work to achieve unburdening of experiences which have been otherwise too overwhelming to process.

As a proud Latina and mother of 3, I have a deep understanding of bicultural issues in parenting. My work is guided by the principles of cultural humility, affirming and celebrating your unique identity and the flavors that it brings to your life.

Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician

With over 11 years of experience working as a medical social worker in Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units, I have walked with families during some of the most vulnerable, overwhelming and transformative moments of their lives.

My professional journey has been deeply shaped by own lived experiences – I am a mother of three beautiful children, one of whom has complex medical needs. 

In my practice, I specialize in supporting parents and families navigating the complex intersection of medical challenges and emotional well-being.  

I offer individual, couples and family therapy. Together, we can work towards strengthening and healing your relationship with yourself and your loved ones. My work is grounded in cultural humility, compassion, clinical expertise and a deep respect for the complexity of each person's experience.

I support individuals and families navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, traumatic birth, infant and child loss and the emotional realities of parenting medically complex children.

In our work together I offer a place where your story can be heard and held - without judgement and without pressure.

Whether you are grieving, adjusting, coping, or surviving, my role is to walk alongside you with care, curiosity and acceptance.

You don't have to carry it alone.
