Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
Hola! I am Lily, so-cal Latina , all things wellness coach, mental health counselor, yoga teacher and ovarian cancer survivor. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Arizona and Iowa and have an extensive background working with youth and in latino family development. Early in my career, my work focused on strengthening Latino communities through self-exploration, skill-building and empowerment to advocate for personal needs, crisis intervention, and mental health prevention work. I graduated from Santa Clara University in California with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Latino Counseling. I believe in treating the whole person-mind, body and spirit-recognizing the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, emphasizing the importance of connecting with your body to foster awareness and presence. I guide you in developing essential skills to navigate and respond to stressful situations. Together, we cultivate resilience and a deeper understanding of your emotional landscape, empowering you to manage life's challenges. Our sessions will be safe and nurturing so you feel heard, valued and understood, but most of all I hope you leave feeling empowered to take control of your wellness journey by having the tools and support you need to thrive.
