About
I believe therapy is a collaborative space where your strengths, self-awareness, and capacity for change can guide us toward meaningful, lasting growth, and I bring a compassionate, mindful, and solution-focused approach to help you get there.
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who believes you are enough exactly as you are. I provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and everyday stressors. I believe therapy is a place to feel heard, understand yourself more deeply, and discover the strengths you already carry.
My approach is strength-based, solution-focused, and grounded in mindful CBT. I work collaboratively with clients who are ready to explore new perspectives and challenge unhelpful patterns. Together, we identify practical tools and meaningful steps toward greater confidence, clarity, healthier relationships, and lasting growth.
Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out—just be willing to begin. I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and move at a pace that honors your journey. If you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin exploring what meaningful change can look like for you.

As someone who has worked within complex healthcare and social systems, I understand how external barriers impact our well-being and therefore focus on helping clients build strategies that restore balance and self-direction.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in behavioral health hospitals and care coordination. I bring a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens to therapy. As a Latina clinician, I recognize how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape our emotional well-being. I help clients navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions find healing, stability, and renewed confidence through compassionate, practical support. My goal is to help build emotional balance, self-understanding, and sustainable empowerment.
I received my Master of Social Work from Loma Linda University. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, combining evidence-based methods like CBT and mindfulness with trauma-informed care. I focus on helping clients gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and create sustainable change through compassion, structure, and empowerment.

I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Arizona. I utilize approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, culturally sensitive therapy, and person-centered therapy in my practice based on client needs.
When not working directly with clients, I engage in community outreach, mentorship, and education, sharing my knowledge to inspire others and promote mental wellness. My unwavering dedication reflects a simple but powerful mission: to help individuals "like you" thrive and live with dignity, hope, and resilience. I invite you to make an appointment today.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
