About Us - Meet Available Psychotherapists
Our clinician team consists of unlicensed and licensed mental health professionals. Unlicensed clinicians are supervised weekly by an experienced and licensed clinician.
We work towards providing you with the best services possible as we share a commitment and vision to support individuals, couples, and families on their journey to wellness and healing. We are a team of clinicians that, collectively, come with a vast level of experience and strengths. Please read below about each provider and we hope that you are able to find a clinician that you feel an ability to connect with. We look forward to your call to begin your journey at Roots in Healing. A free phone consultation is available prior to beginning services as we believe that it is imperative that you feel comfortable in choosing the right provider for you.
Choosing the right therapist is an important decision and, in considering me, I would like you to know that I am committed to providing a level of care where I place priority in providing you with an experience where you may feel listened to, supported, and being in partnership with me towards your path to finding relief & wellness.
I have dedicated myself to providing services extensively to youth and families, especially in the area of trauma, which includes addressing issues, such as gang involvement, sexual exploitation, immigration trauma, and issues related oppression, racism, and acculturation issues. I am a bilingual Salvadoran-American practitioner who enjoys practicing mostly from a social justice, relational, and psychodynamic approach. In addition to my work in Private Practice, I am an adjunct faculty at a local mental health professional institute and provide trainings throughout the Bay Area on topics related to the LatinX population, trauma informed care, and cultural responsive services.

I work from a psychodynamic, attachment-based, and relational lens. I have extensive experience with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and trauma-informed approaches predominantly in communities of color. I identify as bi-racial (Hawaiian and White) woman and use the pronouns she/her/hers. My work in the last four years has been focused on children and youth of color in the Bay Area in both community-based and school-based approaches. I love therapy -- practicing it, participating in it, talking about it and above all being challenged, undone and then (hopefully) reoriented/reorganized by it. There’s this interesting component of being human in that our experiences are uniquely ours and many aspects are also incredibly universal. For me, therapy is a place for your individual experience to be acknowledged, explored and understood alongside another human being. I'd love the opportunity to consult with you and determine if we would be a good fit for this beautiful, sometimes difficult work.

I am a bilingual/bicultural Spanish-speaking therapist. For eight years, I have enjoyed the honor of working with children, teens, and adults struggling with an array of concerns including anxiety and depression related to life transitions, family stress, trauma, and grief. My strengths include connecting with people from diverse backgrounds in a genuine way and assisting them in identifying and building on their strengths, improving resiliency, and ultimately figuring out what they need to live fuller, more satisfying lives.
My hope for every person is that we find what we need to move forward in a healthy way when we arrive at a place where we feel stuck, conflicted, or broken. As we offer a free 30-minute phone consultation, through that avenue, I hope to give you a chance to “meet” me and better understand what it would be like to work together. You don’t have to be alone on the road to growth and healing.

What's shareable is bearable. Healing happens in connection with others, and I meet my clients where they are at. I am a biracial, multicultural Oakland native. I know what it feels like to be "in between." I enjoy working with diverse people of all ages, especially teens, and work to reduce stigma around reaching out for help. I can offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the barriers and unique issues in your life and understand them within the social context. I encourage self-reflection and having your own "A-ha!" moments through our work together.
I provide an extended sliding scale for those that qualify. For more information, please contact me.
