I use trauma informed, strength base approach, have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Trauma Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and IFS informed.
My goal as a therapist is to work along side with you; helping you acknowledge and embrace your own feelings, and to help you heal inside out. Either we grew up in functional or dysfunctional families, we all have been affected in one way or another by our surroundings, care givers and other people in our lives, and as a result of that we find ourselves dealing with some difficult feelings that make no sense to us, those can be depression, anxiety, dissociation, etc. that are preventing us from being fully present and using our full potential in life. We can heal by learning to acknowledge and embrace our feelings.

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.

Together, we’ll process past pain with proven techniques ( EMDR, DBT, etc.), helping to lessen its emotional grip.
When you’ve experienced trauma, the past can feel heavy, showing up as anxiety, disrupted sleep, or strong reactions to small moments. Trusting others, or even yourself, may feel difficult, and relationships can become strained. Beneath it all is a hope for relief and a desire to feel more grounded and at ease. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means building safety, clarity, and resilience so the past no longer controls how you live today.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
