About Me

Growing up bicultural as a Venezuelan-American, I often felt that my sensitivity didn’t quite fit into either world I navigated. This experience taught me early on how complex and rich our inner lives can be, and how important it is to have a space where all parts of ourselves are seen and valued.

I’m deeply drawn to approaches that honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My interests in Gestalt therapy, present-moment awareness, and spirituality shape how I work.  My own journey through complex mental health experiences has deepened my empathy and appreciation for the resilience it takes to navigate life’s shifts and uncertainties. This understanding enriches how I support others through their unique challenges. 

My hope is to help clients build trust in themselves and their own inner wisdom, recognizing that their lived experience holds powerful insights essential to their healing journey.

I’m a graduate of Naropa University’s Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program. My work is rooted in present-moment awareness and draws from Gestalt and mindfulness-based approaches. I also have a deep passion for supporting individuals navigating Spiritual Emergence or Spiritual Emergency, and I help integrate the insights that arise from these transformative experiences.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me weightlifting, spending time with friends, reading, cooking, writing poetry, or sitting in meditation–practices that help me stay grounded and present.

If you’re feeling called to explore your journey with kindness and curiosity, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you. Together, we can create a space where your experience is honored and your inner wisdom can guide the way forward.

We’re all born with the innate possibility of being and feeling alive

As a counselor, my intention is to foster a relationship in which all parts of you are welcome. Even when there aren’t words yet to describe what’s present, we can slow down together, naming, sensing, and holding what comes up. With time, this becomes a language of self-understanding. Together, we can cultivate the inner observer, one capable of meeting your experience with compassion and curiosity.
