and adjust with life’s transitions. Working in a respectful and non-judgmental manner, together we decide the process and focus of therapy. 

I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) and bi-cultural therapist that embodies cultural influences. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, stress management, domestic violence, relationship/life transitions, Latinx/cultural identity, immigration/acculturation, financial wellness, and am a SYMBIS facilitator.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professional (ICDVP).
