I am an associate licensed clinical social worker. I graduated from Seattle University with my Master’s degree in Social work. I have worked in a residential treatment center, school counseling, young adult and youth shelter, and community mental health agency providing in person and Telehealth services.
I believe that having a space to process and being witnessed is crucial in healing. I also believe that there are other modalities that bring healing outside of the therapeutic room, such as connecting with community, connecting with culture, and traditions. I want to welcome and integrate the tools that are helpful for you in our work together.
I work toward the integration of the mind and the body. I believe the body holds wisdom and want to create opportunities in our work together to create a deeper connection to self. In all the work that we do, I believe that you are the expert of your experience and I am a guide. It is important for me to honor where you and your nervous system are at. I work through a bottom up process, leaning into mindfulness and acknowledging that some of the tools in therapy come from indigenous wisdom, while pairing them with clinical and western knowledge. My approach is also focused on your strengths and centering you in our work together. I believe that there is wisdom in you and that we can tap into that by creating space for you to hear the parts of you that need to be heard.
When I am not providing services, you can find me finding good places to eat, in nature, practicing yoga, and connecting with my Mexican and Indigenous culture.

I was struggling with my anxiety and depression and I wasn’t sure what to do. After searching all over Seattle I finally came across Seattle Wellness Center. Their staff was warm, welcoming and accommodating to my needs. I could not thank them enough for everything they have done.
