Great to meet you!

I am your therapist then!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a Latina immigrant clinician with more than 30 years of experience in sexual health. Both equipped me with multicultural competence to connect with people of diverse ethnicities and lifestyles. I support individuals facing minority challenges. Schedule a free virtual consultation now and let's decide together if I am the therapist for your journey.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, I utilize a posttraumatic growth approach, drawing on my expertise in relationships, trauma resolution, sexual well-being and strategic intervention coaching. With me you will find understanding and compassion tailored to your unique needs.
