Great to meet you!

  • Hi, I’m Stephanie, a bilingual Latina therapist and second-generation Mexican American. I offer trauma-informed, culturally affirming therapy for Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and first responders. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or generational trauma, I’m here to support you with compassion and authenticity. You deserve to feel seen and heard. Let’s begin, reach out today!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best as a partnership, where you have an active role in shaping your goals & treatment. I integrate approaches like DBT, CBT, CFT, Mindfulness, & Psychoanalytic Therapy to create personalized strategies that support your growth, healing, & lasting change. My goal is to provide a space where you feel empowered, understood, & supported.

What you can expect from our first session

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. I provide a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQIA2S+, Latinx, and BIPOC communities. With cultural understanding and empathy, we’ll navigate challenges, explore emotions, and begin your healing journey on your terms

Stephanie's style is
