Every session is personalized to fit your unique needs, values, and pace, with a focus on holistic care that addresses the whole person—not just symptoms. Together, we’ll set goals, overcome barriers, and create the growth you deserve.
This is your space to feel empowered, supported, and ready to thrive.
Hey, I’m Nicole. It’s nice to meet you.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist practicing in California with over ten years of experience. I began my career working with families of children on the Autism Spectrum and later became a program coordinator. My journey led me to San Diego, where I earned my Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy, focusing on community-based programs for underserved families.
Growing up in a multicultural family—American, Puerto Rican, and Guatemalan—shaped my passion for self-discovery and the power of truly understanding yourself. I’ve experienced my own journey of finding a stronger sense of self, and now I’m dedicated to helping others do the same in a supportive, empowering space.

Medical Support and Caregivers
When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, my family was left in a scramble. We all had so many emotions, but no time to process them between all of the medical care she needed. If you are someone undergoing challenging medical treatment or caretaking for someone who is, find strength in therapy that helps you keep going.
My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and empowered to move forward with confidence and hope. You don’t have to let the past define you. Together, we’ll work to create a life where you feel strong, happy, and at peace.
