Our lives are deeply influenced by the relationships we have with others and the ones we have with ourselves. As a marriage and family counseling master’s student I bring a relationship-based perspective to therapy work – whether we are working on communication with a partner, family challenges, or self-love.

My goal is to create a trusting and non-judgmental space where you feel free to explore yourself and take control of your life’s narrative.

Having lived and worked in Ecuador for five years, I have both personal and professional experience in multicultural relationships and environments. I enjoy working with couples and families navigating the layers of culture and immigration while adjusting to new cultural spaces. I am constantly learning so that I can provide culturally and racially-informed care I work primarily with adults, couples, and families. I often address issues like depression, anxiety, communication challenges, sexual intimacy issues, multicultural couple differences, and family adversities including families adjusting to disability. I am grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. As a Board Certified Music Therapist, I also offer opportunities to integrate musical interventions and resources into our sessions.

Nuestras vidas están profundamente influenciadas por las relaciones que establecemos con los demás y con nosotros mismos. Como estudiante de maestría en terapia de parejas y familias, aporto una perspectiva basada en los vínculos interpersonales a mi trabajo terapéutico, abordando aspectos como la comunicación con la pareja, los desafíos familiares y el autoamor.

Mi objetivo es crear un espacio de confianza y no juicio donde te sientas libre de explorarte y tomar control de la narrativa de tu vida.

Cuento con experiencia profesional y personal en relaciones y ambientes multiculturales, adquirida durante cinco años de vivir y trabajar en Quito, Ecuador. Me apasiona trabajar con parejas y familias que navegan por las complejidades de la cultura y la inmigración, adaptándose a nuevos espacios culturales. Me comprometo a aprender constantemente para brindar servicios cultural y racialmente conscientes. Trabajo principalmente con adultos, parejas y familias, abordando temas como la depresión, la ansiedad, los conflictos de comunicación, la intimidad y la sexualidad, las diferencias en parejas multiculturales y las dificultades familiares, incluyendo familias que se adaptan a una discapacidad. Me baso en la Terapia Focalizada en las Emociones (TFE), la Terapia Narrativa y la Terapia Centrada en la Persona.

Además, como musicoterapeuta certificada, también ofrezco la oportunidad de integrar intervenciones musicales y recursos de musicoterapia en nuestras sesiones.
