Bannockburn, IL 60015
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when big emotions, behavioral struggles, or major transitions begin to affect your child or family’s everyday life. I provide a compassionate, grounding, and playful therapy space where children, adolescents, and caregivers feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.
As a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish, I’m passionate about increasing access to mental health care and creating culturally responsive therapy where every family feels seen, valued, and respected.
My approach is integrative, blending Person-Centered care with evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and play-based interventions. With a strong trauma-informed foundation, I meet clients exactly where they are while helping them build emotional awareness, confidence, and practical coping tools.
I work with children as young as three, adolescents, and families navigating behavioral concerns, emotional regulation challenges, neurodiversity, and major life transitions. I also offer supportive parent training so caregivers feel equipped, encouraged, and connected throughout the therapeutic process.
I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, connected, and truly understood. I’m especially mindful of the mental health care gaps impacting underserved and marginalized communities, and I intentionally integrate cultural values, communication styles, and intergenerational experiences into my work.
Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my pets, exploring the outdoors, discovering new places, and reading.
