Thank you for visiting my profile.. How do you know that the unknown person you are reaching will be able to be attuned to you in the ways that you need? It's hard to discern this just from reading someone's profile. Most of my clients feel they know me before they reach out because they are referred by current or former clients. I like that but what about individuals who don't have the benefit of that pre-service information? I usually suggest potential clients schedule a FREE meeting for this reason. I hope you will consider doing exactly that.

I work with those seeking support and compassion, while navigating difficult emotions, experiences, and the residual impact on the mind and body. I believe that acknowledgement of our humanity allows us the freedom to be who we are and who we want to be. Everyone holds the power to create their own reality. This reality is created by the barriers we choose to acquire and those we choose to repel, as the blossom of the lotus flower repels the muddy waters. My priorities as a therapist are to offer a safe space, help you reach your goals/ desires, and offer guidance to become unstuck when it feels nearly impossible.

As a bilingual, bicultural, Latina, clinical social worker, I have dedicated my practice to working with women, who like me, have been judged, misunderstood, silenced, and oftentimes overlooked. Who you are is not defined by your sex, color, dis-ease, relationship, or your family. Although these things impact you, the "whole" of you is still evolving; ever present and resilient. Don't let your past, your thoughts, society or your environment determine what works for you and what does not. Trust your gut - your body keeps score and knows how to guide you. We need to learn to listen to what comes from within. Let me show you how.

Healing from trauma requires a specialized, attuned, and integrative process. The emotional wounds of the past are hidden and often appear as anxiety, relational challenges, disconnection, and more. At its core, trauma disconnects us from ourself and makes us feel that who and what we are is "not enough." This leaves us feeling empty and seeking replacements to fill that void. By addressing our trauma, we integrate this healing at the deeper emotional, body, and spiritual levels. With a safe, supportive space, we can tap into our internal wisdom and bring about this transformational work.

If you feel the need for change, I can help you with this, because I studied at the Department of Neuro and Patho Psychology and I know how the cognitive functions of the brain work and how the unconscious is formed, which stores hidden files that prevent a person from development and adaptation.

Life can be challenging. But sometimes life is more difficult than it should be. At times it may seem that however hard we try, we are unable to live the life we want. It may feel as if there is an invisible wall that gets between us and our hopes, aspirations, and goals. This "wall" may be caused by depression, anxiety, family issues or trauma, among other things. Fortunately, it is possible to free ourselves of these impediments and live the life we want for ourselves.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
