Downey, CA 90241
I have an array of experiences before becoming a Mental Health Provider. I conducted research for almost 10 years in HIV: LA Gay and Lesbian Center and Oncology : Stanford Children’s Hospital. For many years taught classes for at-risk youth with mental health struggles in San Francisco. I have experience in Women's health such as postpartum depression, and helping moms enjoy their babies. I have a passion for making mental health awareness in the Latino community. I am fluent in Spanish. I believe we all have choices. It is important when starting a mental health journey. "One day at a time and sometimes an hour at a time."

You are not alone; I am here to help you and help the entire community, including the Spanish-speaking Hispanic community.
Accepting new patients. Fear of the unknown is a trait we all share; not knowing what to do or how, when, and where to seek professional help can cause stress, and for people suffering from a mental disorder, that fear and frustration only aggravate their condition more. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I understand how difficult it is to ask for help or find a trustworthy provider. I assist my patients in navigating the confusing and complex road to recovery. My main focus is advocating for my patients, educating them about their condition, and making them feel safe, heard, and at peace.

As a Latino familiar with the stigma often attached to mental health in Latinx cultures, I also gravitate to the work of normalizing conversations about mental health in communities of color.
Overall, my ideal patient is anyone who is looking to better their mental health and give themselves the time and care that they deserve.

Hispanic and Latino Psychiatrists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
