Great to meet you!

I have created and founded La Verdad Therapy with the vision of reaching many under the embrace and guidance of truth. Working as a clinician and social worker for over 20 years, I have had the honor to witness the power of Truth in a transformative nature. Wisdom is not far by telling us that the Truth shall set you free. I want to invite you to take the wildest journey you can imagine. A journey into yourself with open arms and ready to embrace the truth of your story.
