Great to meet you!

I am full of energy, observant, assertive, self-discipline, and compassionate. I am Afro-Latina and a first-generation immigrant, bilingual (Spanish). I have extensive experience working with the marginalized community, BIPOC/Latinx topics such as identify, multiculturalism, racism, relationship issues, high conflict families, difficult adolescent/children to parents.

My approach to therapy

Contextual family therapy explore your genetic heritage, your beliefs, and ideas, and most important any transgenerational behaviors you have inherited.You will understanding your past, and current environment. You will learn to establish a more loving and trustworthy relationship with yourself and others. I will guide you through a personal growth journey where you will learn to hope, heal, develop harmony, build trust, find fairness, while practicing forgiveness and acceptance.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a burst of energy. We will translate that energy into a collaborative “work in progress.” We will go at the pace that is most convenient for you. I will join you and go inside those scary places, while you overcome the fear of the unknown, help you challenge your own belief systems and construct a new reality that works for you. You will discover deeper and more vulnerable emotions and learn to recognize the things that keep you stuck.
