FOUNDER

Healing Waves Therapy & Counseling, PLLC was created from my desire to build a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and supported in their healing. As a first-generation Latina from Mexico, I understand how meaningful it is to receive care that honors culture, identity, and lived experience. My vision is to walk alongside others as they reconnect with themselves, build healthy boundaries, and create lives rooted in authenticity, joy, and self-trust.
