About

Mija, no matter what others tell you, you are enough. Maybe you don't believe this yet, but by the time you walk out of your last therapy session, you will have acquired the necessary tools and experiences to believe this is true. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, te entiendo. As an immigrant woman myself, I’ve seen the pressure we feel to succeed for our families, the fear of vulnerability, the feeling that we live in two worlds, or the difficulty of putting our emotions into words without feeling like a burden or a failure. I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist serving the community in Olathe, KS. As a therapist, my goal is to deliver culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care services to you. I provide individual therapy sessions in English or Spanish, specifically operating from a social justice oriented approach using CBT, DBT, and Feminist Theory. I would be privileged to support you along your journey of healing and empowerment, call or e-mail me today.
