Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual-bicultural Latinx Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in private practice licensed in California since 2018 with ten years of professional work experience. I have taken various trainings such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT to increase my clinical skills to better support my clients in reaching their academic, social, vocational, and personal goals. I continue to research new interventions and skills to support my clients in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide integrative therapy using different approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and more to tailor the therapy services to fit the needs of my clients. I use a holistic approach to support my clients in regulating the nervous system through mind and body techniques such as mindfulness, breath work, EFT tapping, and EMDR.

What you can expect from our first session

I create a safe environment with compassion, respect, and cultural sensitivity where my clients can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I am here to support your journey toward personal growth and healing to help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to reach your goals. I will provide you with the knowledge and practice that will allow you to understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The first session will be an evaluation and psychoeducation.
