Who I Serve

Are you wanting to talk about things that may feel overwhelming, scary or shameful? Are there topics that you feel like you can’t share with people in your life because you worry they may judge you, try to fix the situation or not be able to handle it? I am here to listen, support, and help you work through whatever it is so you can feel like you have space to breathe, think, heal and move forward.

I provide in person and virtual therapy for adolescents and young adults. I specialize in working with youth who experience or have experienced anxiety, depression, family conflict, substance use, self harm, suicidal ideation as well as school challenges and peer dynamics.

My office is located at Sunset Healing Arts at 1395 31st avenue in San Francisco

Philosophy and Techniques

I believe to feel truly seen and heard in an authentic and deep way is one of the greatest gifts that we can give and receive.  I center my work around meaningful connection.  I feel that therapy is a reciprocal process where we are both working as partners in helping you reach your goals; to find a place of ease, understanding, and strength and to move through life feeling more centered and fulfilled.

While I do not think that there is a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, I incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, mindfulness and somatic therapy. I have received training in using Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) treatment when working with parents and families. I speak Spanish and work with individuals and families who have experienced stress and trauma from immigration.
