My Approach

I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaking), bicultural therapist who works with individuals and families with young children. My approach is psychodynamic, rooted in attachment, family systems, and trauma-informed care. I specialize in supporting parents through the transition into parenthood: whether that means exploring the decision to conceive, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to the postpartum phase, or finding balance in the early years of parenting. This can be a profound time that brings joy, hope, and connection,  but also stress, uncertainty, grief, and difficult emotions.

At the heart of my work is building a collaborative, trusting relationship. I partner with clients to better understand their needs, develop insight, and create strategies that foster growth—not only for the present, but for challenges that may arise in the future. I also bring a deep respect for the cultural values, traditions, and family dynamics that shape each person’s experience. I recognize that social location—including identities, communities, and lived experiences—plays an important role in how families approach parenthood and family life.

Because my work is rooted in the belief that healing and growth happen in relationships, sessions often include parents with their baby or young child. Having your child present allows us to nurture the ways you connect, while also reflecting on your experiences as a parent. We’ll also discuss what feels most supportive for your family and adjust as your needs evolve. Together, we can create space for healing, connection, and resilience as you navigate the journey of parenthood.
