Let's Get Real About Mental Health

I’ve dedicated over a decade to helping people heal and thrive, beginning my career as a school counselor in Kansas and now serving as a licensed trauma therapist. I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety. As a bilingual Latinx trauma therapist, I provide culturally sensitive care and terapia en español. I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges with professional expertise and compassion.

I work with individuals who have achieved so much yet still carry hidden parts of themselves that hurt.
People who show up strong for everyone else but quietly question their worth when they’re alone.

You might be one of them.
Strong, capable, driven… and tired.
Tired of doubting yourself.
Tired of carrying everything alone.
Tired of feeling like you have to earn your place, your success, or your rest.

I help individuals heal the internal stories that no longer serve them.
To release emotional wounds that resurface unexpectedly.
To let go of self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
To set boundaries rooted in self-respect rather than guilt.
To build a grounded, steady confidence.
To finally — finally — feel enough.

Your healing doesn’t take away your strength.
It amplifies it.
