Great to meet you!

  • Trained in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for therapy with adults.
  • I am a Latina counselor fluent in Spanish and of Mexican roots.
  • 9 years experience supporting people of diverse backgrounds manage experiences of trauma, sexual or domestic violence, depression, and stress.
  • My passions are supporting first and second-generation individuals and recent immigrants with intergenerational traumas and identity.

My approach to therapy

  • All parts of you are welcome: interacting on a human level through Relational Therapy is the most important aspect of sessions.
  • Person-Centered Therapy: where your needs are a priority and your goals will be worked on at your pace.
  • Trauma-informed and flexible approaches to therapy from structured sessions with client accountability to less structured talk therapy.
  • Social justice oriented and inclusive of people from all walks of life and intersectionalities.

What you can expect from me

Many clients tell me they wish they would have started counseling sooner. Because after each session they feel better and have a greater understanding of their thoughts and behavior patterns. They feel lighter learning the tools to engage in change. And free of the weight on their backs they thought was theirs to hold alone.

You deserve this too.
