My trauma‑informed work blends EMDR, Narrative, Person‑Centered, and Existential therapy to create clarity, healing, and grounded self‑trust.
I am Lupe and my journey began in Quito, Ecuador, where I was born and raised. I am a bilingual trauma therapist. I work best with people who have carried too much for too long — the peacekeepers, the over‑responsible, the ones who learned to stay quiet to avoid conflict. My ideal client wants clarity, boundaries, and a deeper understanding of their patterns. They’re ready to feel more like themselves, not the version they became to survive. They want a therapist who is warm, honest, and grounded — someone who listens deeply without absorbing their pain. They come to therapy because they’re ready to stop carrying everything alone.

I integrate EMDR, Adlerian theory, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and attachment-focused approaches to help you get beneath patterns, not just cope with them.
You look like you have it together, but inside you’re overwhelmed, frustrated, or running on fumes. You may be driven and successful, yet feel something is missing. You’re tired of repeating the same relationship patterns and living with self-doubt. You want real change, not surface-level fixes. You’re looking for insight, clarity, and the freedom to be yourself, and for someone grounded who will challenge you. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

My specialities include EMDR, Structural Dissociation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and more.
Are you experiencing intense emotions, constantly worried, or too overwhelmed or numb to feel anything? If you are looking for someone who can break down the therapy process and help you understand the "why" behind symptoms and treatments, I am happy to help! My sessions start by building a relationship at a pace that feels safe to you, as you cannot heal if there is not some level of connection. We then build your toolbox of skills that help you manage your day-to-day symptoms. Once we are confident you are ready, we work on the deeper trauma that may be the source of your distress.

I mainly use EMDR and Parts work (I use a mix of Internal Family Systems, structural dissociation, and ego state), and I incorporate somatic work with my knowledge and experience as a trained yoga teacher.
I have experience and thoroughly enjoy working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community, those deconstructing from high-control religion, and those with neurodiversity. I find that these unique sets of identity markers are difficult to understand unless they are lived experience, and I've found these folks tend to feel comfortable in my therapeutic space.

I take a gentle approach to trauma using an Internal Family System-informed approach that moves towards EMDR processing or narrative therapy.
Are you longing for depth, connection, safety and ease, but instead we can feel weighed down by memories or anxiety. You might feel like a mess or have disappointing therapy experiences. I provide specialized trauma care for you or you and your partner(s) to identify and communicate needs, learn new skills, process or heal any traumatic experiences or symptoms, learn work with our bodies and limitations, and discover new ways of being in the world.
My clients often coming to therapy wanting to explore: LGBTQ identity, religious trauma, sexual trauma, sexual health, childhood stress, traumatic grief, conflict with partner(s).

I utilize EMDR Therapy, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Emotion-Focused modalities to guide my work with you toward lasting change.
It can feel like stress, grief, or old pain have taken over your life, and no matter how hard you try, you end up in the same patterns. You’ve been holding it together for so long, trying to push through, and it’s exhausting. I work with people who want to finally slow down, face what they’ve been carrying, and find ways to handle emotions without fearing it’ll be too much. In therapy, we’ll take the time to sort through what’s happened, understand how it’s affected you, and use practical approaches to help you feel steadier, more capable, and in control of your life.

Treatment may include EMDR, ERP, IFS, somatic therapy, and ACT, to process experiences, understand patterns, and build regulation skills.
If you’re here, you might be feeling stuck. Maybe you understand where your patterns come from, but that insight hasn’t actually changed the trauma responses, intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness, or coping strategies that don’t feel helpful anymore. That can be exhausting.
I offer therapy that’s compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping your nervous system feel safe. We’ll explore the protective patterns that once helped you survive, process difficult experiences at your pace, and create space for reflection.

I often use EMDR, Parts work, and mindfulness to address trauma
Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma—whether from a specific event, difficult relationships, or years of navigating chronic stress. I’m a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who values creating a space where clients feel understood and supported. This often shows up as anxiety, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. It can feel even more complicated during life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or navigating identity, especially for BIPOC clients who may also be managing the effects of systemic and generational trauma.

I integrate EMDR, Sandtray, and biofeedback to support healing.
Sometimes you realize the things you've been doing just aren’t working. I’ve been there. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like anything, or anyone could help you find your way back to yourself. Sometimes you may not even know what it might feel like to “be yourself.” Trauma and distress can consume so much. While we can do a lot on our own… sometimes... we could use support. I believe every person already has their solution within themselves. Therapy is the process of helping you find it. Therapy is a deeply personal process and exploration. I provide a space that creates a container where you can feel safe exploring hard things.
