About Me
Growing up bicultural as a Venezuelan-American, I often felt my sensitivity didn't quite fit into either world I navigated. That experience taught me early how complex and rich our inner lives can be — and how much it matters to have a space where all parts of yourself are seen.
My own journey through complex mental health experiences has deepened my empathy for the resilience it takes to navigate life's uncertainties. I don't work from the outside looking in - living and practicing within my own self has allows me to bring this understanding into the room.
"My hope is to help you build trust in yourself — and in the wisdom you already carry."
I'm drawn to approaches that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Gestalt therapy, present-moment awareness, and a genuine curiosity all shape how I work.
I find my own ground in the weight room, in the kitchen, in good conversation, and on the dance floor — somewhere between a Salsa beat and a Two-Step. Practicing embodiment isn't just something I talk about; it's something I try to live everyday.

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.
