Find Your Counselor

I am Ana, a bilingual Spanish-speaking, Licenced Professional Counselor experienced in helping adults with a loud inner critic and who feel like their relationships are a constant source of stress.

In our sessions, we will explore past events that negatively impacted you and are still affecting your daily life in different ways, such as low self-esteem, overthinking, or feelings of not being good enough. These issues can certainly leave you feeling drained and guilty. These past experiences may also have had an impact on the way you think and perceive yourself, others, and the world.

In our sessions, we will explore the root cause of your current struggles, and you will have the opportunity to connect the dots in a way that makes sense to you. My priority is to ensure you feel safe, validated, heard, understood, and recognized. 

Life can feel heavy when you are overthinking , or putting others first, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy os a place to pause, breath and sort through what has been wieghing on you.

I work with cleints that want to understand themselves better, improve their relaionships and feel more grounded in their daily lives.

My approach is warn, honest and collaborative...we will move at your pace while focsuing on real and meaningful change. You don't need to have everything figured out to start, showing up is enough.

My approach to therapy is caring, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use different styles of therapy depending on your needs, but at the heart of it, I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive relationship. I often work with people who are feeling anxious, going through relationship struggles, dealing with low self-esteem, navigating big life changes, or figuring out what it means to be highly sensitive or neurodivergent. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that once helped them cope but no longer feel useful. Together, we gently explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion.

People often describe me as calm, present, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I stay actively involved in sessions. I believe real growth usually means stepping a little outside your comfort zone, and my role is to support you in stretching just enough to foster change, without overwhelming your system. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a space where you can bring your whole self and know that you’ll be met with care and respect. Outside of the therapy room, I’m also pursuing my PhD in Counseling Psychology. My research looks at how we adjust during big life transitions, including culture shock, finding belonging, and how our sense of self can shift during these times.
