As a licensed therapist in Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore self-love, communication dynamics, and personal growth while addressing challenges like social anxiety, attachment patterns, and life transitions.
With expertise in stress management, relationship dynamics, and emotional healing, I offer a compassionate and culturally responsive therapeutic space. My bilingual practice (English and Spanish) allows me to connect deeply with diverse communities, particularly those experiencing immigration-related experiences and identity exploration.
I am committed to supporting clients through grief, self-esteem challenges, and transformative life moments. My approach is collaborative and affirming, focusing on empowering individuals to develop resilient coping strategies and cultivate meaningful personal insights. Together, we'll work to understand your unique story and create pathways toward healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
