Agave Intern, Psychotherapist
Pronouns: She/Her
It can often feel scary to share your most vulnerable self and work through difficult emotions an experiences with another person. Therapy for me is one of the most courageous and vulnerable journeys a person can take. My approach is grounded in understanding each individual’s lived experiences through a holistic lens, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and grow in ways that help you live a more meaningful and authentic life.
I welcome individuals from a broad range of identities, including all ages, races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and spiritual beliefs. I have extensive experience working with children as young as two years old, as well as adolescents and adults. My clinical experience includes supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. I am also passionate about serving the Latinx community and proudly offer therapy in both English and Spanish, striving to provide culturally responsive and affirming care.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. My work is rooted in a variety of evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Humanistic Therapy, and Existential Therapy. When working with children, I incorporate developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques to foster emotional expression, strengthen coping skills, and support healthy development. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I work alongside each client to create a treatment plan that honors their strengths, values, and goals.
My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where we can build a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, authenticity, and openness. Together, we'll work toward helping you gain insight, develop practical tools, and work to become your most authentic self. If you're ready to take the first step, I would be honored to be part of your journey.
