Nice to meet you

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural psychotherapist from Colombia. My background has fostered deep empathy and understanding of diverse cultural experiences. I provide affirming, client-centered care to people of all identities and orientations. Using holistic and evidence-based approaches, I partner with clients to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and foster growth through collaboration. My experience spans K–12, higher education, community mental health, and private practice. I integrate culturally responsive care with clear goals and active participation to support lasting change.
