“We’re only as needy as our unmet needs.” — John Bowlby
I characterize myself as warm, empathetic, and sincere. Outside of counseling I am an avid reader; I adore children’s literature and have a slight obsession with books. I am intrigued by culture and hope to continue exploring cultures worldwide through traditions, music, and food.
I specialize in working with young children and their families using child-centered play therapy, filial therapy, and other play-based approaches. As part of the Latinx community and bilingual therapist, I enjoy working with individuals and families of color on difficulties surrounding race/discrimination, family separation, and acculturation.
