We all fall somewhere between where we want to be and the worst that we have been. Many times, in life we are just not happy with where we are at our present moment, and even though we may not be at our worst we still know things could be better.

You feel numb and hopeless. This feeling of loneliness feels hollow and empty and no one seems to get it. You feel as though the waves are crashing down on you and you cant catch a break.

You question if there is a high power, a light, just something to ease these feelings for just a day. I am here here to say, there is hope. I will give you the ladder and help you climb out of that dark hole and you will be able to live life again.

Hi! Ser padre/madre, mujer, hija/hijo y pareja en esta nueva etapa de tu vida puede ser una tarea muy difícil, pero no tiene que enfrentarla solo. Me alegro que haya llegado hasta mi para poder brindarle mi ayuda. I am a Latinx, mother, educator, Bilingual Spanish Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor in the state of California.

Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

When we go through difficult moments, it's easy to fall back into old patterns or feel the sting of unresolved past wounds. Society and family often dictate a solitary struggle, but as much as you try to handle it alone, it feels like too much. Therapy with me is for those seeking something beyond mere symptom relief and who want to be seen beyond labels. It's for those who have an inkling that liberation is not just possible, but that it beckons. It's for those of us wanting to begin a journey toward authentic peace, fulfillment, and purpose.
