As the first-generation daughter of two Salvadoran immigrant parents, I know how our stories are shaped by the families, cultures, and experiences that came before us. I understand the strength it takes to navigate different worlds, carry unspoken expectations, and break cycles that may have existed for generations. Those experiences have taught me that healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens when we feel safe enough to explore our story, honor where we've come from, and choose how we want to move forward.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina. I specialize in working with individuals healing from childhood trauma, complex trauma, and intergenerational trauma, while also supporting those experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and individualized because no two healing journeys look the same. I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy, while adapting my approach to meet your unique needs.

I don't believe healing means forgetting what happened or pretending life has been easy. I believe healing means discovering that your past no longer has to define your future. It means building a life where you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your relationships, and more able to experience peace, joy, and authenticity. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover their resilience, reclaim their voice, and create the life they deserve—one step at a time.
