Hey, I'm Natalia, a Latina therapist with 10 years of experience supporting adults who are learning how to live with chronic illness and disabilities, manage caregiving roles, and cope with anxiety, burnout, and trauma. Many of the individuals I work with are used to being the dependable one, even when they’re exhausted or struggling themselves.
My style is relational, authentic, nonjudgmental, and direct. I use EMDR, ACT, somatic and holistic therapy, and culturally-affirming care to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore not only why you feel the way you do, but also what patterns are keeping you stuck and what you want your life to look like moving forward. I tend to balance emotional processing with strategies for meaningful change, humor, and compassionate accountability. My goal is to ensure that you don't stay feeling stuck.
As someone with lived experience with chronic illness and disability, I understand how different aspects of our identities, culture, family roles, and intergenerational experiences can shape how we relate to illness, responsibility, and rest. Therapy with me is a place where your full story is welcome, without judgment or needing to explain yourself. You can expect to leave feeling heard, seen, and validated, with new strategies to help you navigate stress, trauma, or life’s challenges more confidently.
