As long as I can remember I was helping and advocating for others. Being raised in an immigrant household seeking for help in mental health was a stigma and it opened my eyes at an early age that it is hard to admit help is needed, but I would like to make that environment safe for others seeking help. 

  I completed my Masters degree at the University of Southern California. I have been providing services in the community for over 15 years. I provided services as a social worker to foster children and families. I worked providing specialty mental health services for  the County of San Bernardino for 9 years. 

 I am bilingual in Spanish. I work with children, adolescents, and adults as well with couples. I work with LGTBQ individuals and clients with different cultures, ethnicities and religious backgrounds. I have a specialization in Military Social Work, working with veterans and families.

Remember that you are not alone. 

Therapy isn’t just for when things fall apart — it’s also for growth, self-understanding, and learning how to handle and cope with life in healthier ways. But before you start, ask yourself:

• Are you open to being honest with yourself?

• Are you willing to talk about hard things, even if it’s uncomfortable?

• Are you ready to try new ways of thinking or coping?

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to show up — as you are. If you’re feeling unsure, that’s okay. It is okay not to be okay. The first step is to reach out and support you in this journey. 

Recuerda que no estás solo. La terapia no es solo para cuando las cosas se desmoronan; también es para crecer, comprenderte a ti mismo y aprender a manejar y afrontar la vida de manera más saludable. Pero antes de empezar, pregúntate: 

¿Estás abierto a ser honesto contigo mismo? 

¿Estás dispuesto a hablar de cosas difíciles, incluso si es incómodo? 

¿Estás listo para probar nuevas formas de pensar o afrontar las cosas? 

No necesitas tenerlo todo resuelto. Solo necesitas presentarte tal como eres. Si te sientes inseguro, no pasa nada. El primer paso es acercarte y apoyarte en este camino.
