I offer high-quality, compassionate, personalized therapy in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Psypact states.

My Story
As the daughter of immigrants from Latin America, I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Brazilian Portuguese. Growing up navigating multiple languages and cultures shaped my passion for providing multicultural, inclusive, and anti-oppressive therapy where every part of one’s identity is welcomed and respected. As a proud cancer survivor and mother of two, I carry a deep appreciation for fostering resilience, vulnerability, and connection—values I bring into the therapy space.
​​
I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College, a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Boston University.
​
My professional training includes a Fellowship at Cambridge Eating Disorder Center and Internships at Boston Behavioral Medicine and Brigham & Women’s Hospital. I also completed practicum training at Boston Public Health Commission’s Entre Familia: Women & Family Substance Abuse Services, and pursued a Doctoral Concentration in Latino Mental Health.​​​​ I am currently completing an Advanced Clinical Training Program on Complex Trauma and Dissociation at the Chicago Center for Integration and Healing.
​​​
I began my private practice career in Boston in 2014. In 2018, I relocated to the Chicago suburbs and transitioned to providing online therapy. Today, I serve as Associate Clinical Director at Connections Health Collaborative Counseling in Evanston, Illinois, where I offer both in-person and telehealth services. I am licensed to provide therapy to clients in Illinois, Massachusetts, and participating PSYPACT states.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you on your journey toward healing, inner peace, connection, authenticity, and resilience.
