Hi, I’m Ana. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a teacher, where I found so much joy in nurturing growth and potential in children. Over time, I realized that true, lasting change doesn’t just happen in the classroom—it begins with emotional well-being, for both children and the adults who care for them. That realization guided me into the field of mental health.

As a licensed mental health therapist, I bring that same dedication into the therapy room. I know that reaching out for support can feel uncertain, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. In our sessions, you won’t be judged or rushed. Instead, we’ll work together at your pace, exploring your story, your strengths, and the patterns that shape your life.

My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, compassion, and cultural responsiveness. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can breathe a little easier—where you can explore, process, and build the tools you need to move forward.

My hope is that through our work together, you not only find healing but also reconnect with your sense of resilience and the possibility of living with more balance, peace, and confidence.
