Life can throw some tough challenges our way, and even the strongest among us sometimes need a little extra support to find clarity and strength. My goal is to help you build the skills and understanding needed to move forward with faith, resilience, and hope.

With over 14 years of experience as an educator, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with children, adolescents, and families. This journey has taught me just how important emotional well-being is for success in all areas of life. Inspired by this, I pursued a master’s in counseling at Daybreak University so I could offer more personalized and direct support.

My purpose is to assist individuals in their journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. I aim to provide support and guidance that empowers people to unlock their potential and foster personal development. My approach includes techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Play Therapy. Being from Colombia, I’m proud to offer sessions entirely in Spanish and deeply value the cultural richness of the Hispanic community. 

Whether you’re facing anxiety, parenting struggles, trauma, self-esteem issues, or looking for family and couples therapy, I’m here to help. My approach is designed to support individuals from all walks of life, with a special focus on children and adolescents. Let’s work together on your journey towards healing and growth, one step at a time.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your therapy sessions will cost. Your fee will be set according to a sliding scale, in collaboration with your therapist, prior to your first counseling session. Total costs depend upon the number of sessions you choose to utilize.

If you have private health insurance and we are not in-network with your plan, please be aware that your costs for therapy may be less by using an in-network provider. This will depend upon your plan's deductible amounts and co-payments. In some cases, counseling at Shine a Light is less costly than using private insurance.

If you hope to use "out of network" benefits through your private insurance, please be aware that many plans will not reimburse for services provided by trainees. Please request an Associate level therapists for out-of-network billing.
