Grounded in my lived experience as a biracial woman with Latina roots, my systems-based approach is shaped by empathy, deep curiosity, and cultural sensitivity. I’ve long been curious about understanding the way culture shapes identity, relationships, and healing. As a Clinical Intern, I strive to create an inclusive space where people’s lived experiences are not only heard but compassionately understood.

An essential part of who I am is being a single mother. Parenthood has profoundly shaped my approach as a clinician and informs my core belief in the importance of caring for yourself while caring for others. Becoming a mom strengthened my commitment to supporting individuals and families through the peripartum and postpartum journey.

I am dedicated to breaking the stigma and cultural shame that can surround mental health by normalizing therapy, supporting the Latinx community, and providing culturally responsive care. I believe your voice and lived experience should always be at the center of our work together.

I love working with clients at critical transition points in life—especially college students navigating identity, independence, and relationships in a world that demands they be fully grown while assuming they’re too young to know and understand the world around them.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from St. Catherine University. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, binge-watching reality TV with friends, and exploring the outdoors with my daughter.

I’m looking forward to talking with those of you who reach out for support. Together, we’ll build a space rooted in trust, healing, and growth.
