About Me

I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) Chicana Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist raised in South Bay LA. Growing up, I moved around a lot so I grew up a couple of cities including: Pomona, Lennox, Inglewood, and Hawthorne. I am the sole owner of a private practice in the city of Norwalk, California called Therapy of the Sun: Bilingual Psychotherapy Inc. I provide both online (for those living in California) and in-person mental health services such as individual therapy, speaking engagements, workshops, and immigration evaluations. Being a first generation student myself, I have experienced my fair share self-doubt, feelings of not belonging, and toxic traits of perfectionism and overworking (all aspects of impostor syndrome). This has been very apparent in my academic and professional journeys. My passion is working with other first generation professionals of color and helping them understand the complexities of their thinking and how its influenced by not only their upbringing but their environments. My goal is to not only teach clients to build a connection to their own intuition, but to build self-worth (outside of their accomplishments) and motivate them to learn to chill. Knowing perfectionism and being a super-person first-hand, I am well aware of the complexities and influences that arise in being a first-generation young professional female of color.
