I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, specifically the San Fernando Valley. I grew up with parents who had immigrated from El Salvador to escape the civil war that was happening during the 80s. As a child of immigrants, I have a deep appreciation for the
importance of cultural sensitivity and the unique challenges that come with navigating multiple identities. Growing up between cultures taught me the value of empathy, adaptability, and understanding diverse perspectives—qualities that I bring into my work with clients. I recognize that healing cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach; it must honor each person’s unique background, values, and lived experiences. This awareness informs
my commitment to providing inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive care to individuals from all walks of life.

My professional experience includes supporting survivors of domestic violence, individuals facing substance use challenges, and those healing from various forms of trauma. I integrate
evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness practices to promote holistic healing and resilience. My goal is to empower clients to rediscover their strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe that with the right support and guidance, healing is not only possible—it can be transformative.
