I’ve always believed that we all hold the power to create meaningful change within ourselves—sometimes, we just need the right support, courage, and guidance to unlock it. My mission is to help others find their purpose, build confidence, and create a life they’re proud of.

​

My passion for helping others began early—I knew by the age of 15 that I wanted to work in this field, even if I didn’t yet have the words for it. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to work with youth, adults, and families, helping them navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. My deep commitment to working with young people remains strong, and I’m equally inspired by the work I now do mentoring and supervising emerging clinicians.

​

As the Founder and Clinical Director of Social Butterflies Psychotherapy, I focus on guiding new graduates, interns, and early-career therapists. Supporting their growth in both clinical psychotherapy and entrepreneurship brings me great fulfillment. I take pride in fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and professional confidence. I've also helped other clinicians launch and grow their own private practices—something I’m truly proud to witness.

I was born in Guatemala and came to the United States at the age of three. Staying connected to my roots and visiting family in Central America brings me immense joy. I'm a proud graduate of Stony Brook University and the proud mother of two incredible children who fill my life with love and laughter.

​

More recently, I became a proud fur mom to a sweet golden doodle puppy named Dixie Rose, who has added even more love, fun, and cuddles to our home.

​

In my personal time, I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my kids watching movies and shows, going to the gym, and connecting with inspiring people. I also have a fun side hobby of bargain-hunting and reselling treasures on Facebook Marketplace!

At the heart of my work is a belief in the power of education, self-confidence, and inner peace—gifts we can pass on to the next generation.
