Mujer, life is hard. Do you ever feel like your life looks fine on the outside, but inside you’re overwhelmed, tired, or disconnected from yourself? You’ve spent years balancing work, family, relationships—being the strong one, the one who keeps everything moving. But lately, it feels heavier. Harder. You might be asking yourself, “Why can’t I handle things like I used to?” Between cultural expectations, family roles, and life, it can feel lonely—like you’re the only one struggling quietly. I see you and you don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy with me is a warm, safe space where you can show up just as you are.

You’re thoughtful. Capable. Self-aware.
You’ve done the work — read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried to “fix” yourself.
And still, something feels off.
Maybe you’re tired of understanding your patterns but not knowing how to actually change them. Maybe you show up strong and competent for everyone else, yet struggle to extend that same steadiness toward yourself. You don’t need more insight-you need integration.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship stress, low self-esteem, or standing at a crossroads in your life, I offer therapy that is both effective and deeply human. I work with all of Arizona & Idaho.

Jackie primarily works with young people ages 6-17 and adults navigating trauma, emotional dysregulation, or a mental health crisis that has brought them to an inpatient setting. They struggle to feel safe, understood, and in control. Beneath the behaviors is someone who wants to be heard, to belong, and to believe things can get better. Their family wants answers, hope, and a team they can trust. Their goal is stability — at home, at school, and in relationships. They need more than symptom management; they need someone who sees their full story and walks alongside them with consistency, compassion, and real tools for healing.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? I specialize in treating PTSD, OCD, GAD, Panic Disorder, social anxiety, depression, and co-occurring addictions or habits. I take a cognitive approach and use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and other evidence-based energy psychology and other evidence-based therapy to process trauma and deactivate obsessions, worries, urges, negative thoughts (even suicidal ideation) and reduce emotional reactivity substantially. EFT can also support pain relief as a complementary method. I also use EMDR incorporated into EFT or use both. I have 50 hours of training each in EFT, TF-CBT, and EMDR.

Waitlist for new clients
Picture this: you’ve been going to therapy for years. You’ve tried everything—talking through your feelings, practicing relaxation, following every piece of advice. And yet, the anxiety is still there. Day after day, it lingers like an uninvited guest. You start to wonder: What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. About 4% of adults, and nearly 1 in 10 young people between 11 and 24, live with anxiety or related disorders. And many of them share the same painful question—Why am I not getting better?

As a dedicated mental health professional with a deep understanding of Hispanic/ Latino cultural dynamics, I offer a compassionate and culturally informed approach to therapy.
Research shows that your connection with your therapist is more important than the type of therapy that they do. With that being said I take from different modalities to serve each individual client. I utilize proven techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care to help you achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Whether you're navigating grief, parenting stress, or personal growth, I offer a safe space to heal, explore, and reconnect—with yourself and others.

My ideal client may be navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, or identity shifts, especially around family, boundaries, or self-worth. They are exhausted by emotional labor and crave clarity, relief, and a sense of home within themselves. They want more than coping. They want healing that feels grounded, honest, and sustainable. In therapy, we slow things down, build internal trust, and help them live from a place that feels more true.

Deciding to seek therapy requires a great deal of courage. You've taken a big step in simply considering this process. Many of my clients have found themselves "stuck" in their emotions, thoughts, sensations, and reactions. Most just want to feel better, want to move forward, and have had difficulty doing it on their own or with traditional talk therapy. Most of my clients have struggled with trauma, anxiety, depression, life adjustments, or general overwhelm. I prioritize safety and validation with clients, while building strengths and resources, so that we can work together to target what is keeping you stuck - all at your pace.

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.
