Finding Resilience in the Journey

My practice centers on a fundamental question: "How did we get here?" Understanding the roots of our current struggles creates the foundation for meaningful change. Through evidence-based therapy and a warm, culturally responsive approach, I help clients navigate through challenges toward genuine healing.

With over a decade of clinical experience and specialized training in multiple therapeutic modalities, I provide comprehensive support for a range of concerns. My personal background as a first-generation Salvadorian-American informs my understanding of cultural dynamics, while my professional expertise ensures effective, science-backed treatment.

Trauma and Anxiety

Trauma and anxiety create powerful responses that can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. I combine CBT and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to address both symptoms and root causes. We’ll work together to understand how past experiences shape current reactions while building practical skills to regulate your nervous system and restore your sense of safety and control.

Maternal Mental Health

Motherhood transforms across all stages of parenting. I provide dedicated support for mothers navigating the emotional terrain of raising children from infancy through adolescence and beyond, addressing identity changes, relationship dynamics, and the complex emotions that accompany this lifelong role.

Emotion Regulation

Intense emotions can feel overwhelming and lead to relationship difficulties or self-destructive behaviors. I focus on helping you understand your emotional patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and build a healthier relationship with your feelings. This work transforms emotional intensity from a liability into a source of wisdom and depth.

Couples Therapy

Relationships require ongoing attention and care. Using the research-based Gottman Method, I help couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate conflicts effectively. I offer particular expertise in supporting couples through the transition to parenthood, helping maintain relationship satisfaction during this significant life change.
