Thank you for considering me to accompany you on your journey of personal growth, self-awareness, and transformation.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), Registered Sandplay Practitioner (RSP), and SoulCollage® Facilitator based in La Mesa, San Diego County, California. I offer holistic, trauma-informed therapy for adults, blending depth psychology, expressive arts, and mindfulness to support healing, insight, and personal growth.

My Therapeutic Approach

My work focuses on exploring underlying issues, internal stressors, attachment styles, and past traumas rather than just addressing surface symptoms. Together, we’ll work toward alleviating emotional pain, accessing inner wisdom, and awakening creativity.

I practice primarily from Jungian and Attachment Theory perspectives and integrate expressive arts modalities, including Sandplay Therapy, Therapeutic Art, and SoulCollage®. These creative methods help bring unconscious material to awareness in a safe, self-paced way, complementing traditional talk therapy.
Please note: I am no longer working with children and now focus exclusively on adults.

I am fluent in English and Portuguese, and proficient in Spanish.

I have experience supporting adults with:

• Inner Child Work & Shadow Work
• Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional Regulation
• Postpartum Adjustment, Depression, & Anxiety
• Trauma Recovery & Processing Childhood Wounds
• Self-Compassion, Self-Worth, & Empowerment
• Grief, Loss, & Life Transitions
• Spiritual Growth & Personal Exploration
• Women’s Issues, Midlife, Menopause, & Aging
• Relationship Boundaries & Assertiveness
• Healing from Narcissistic, Unstable, & Toxic Relationships
• Divorce, Blended Families, Empty Nest, & Single Parenting
• Caregiver Support & Psychosocial Oncology
• Immigration, Acculturation, & Cultural Adjustment
• Neurodiversity​                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ​

​My goal is to provide a calm, nurturing environment where insight, creativity, and healing can unfold naturally. Whether through talk therapy, expressive arts, or a combination, we’ll work together to reconnect you with your authentic self and inner wisdom.

Everyone is Welcome Here!
