Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Alameda, CA

Bienvenidos: Si usted es como yo probablemente tiene ideas y dudas acerca de pedir ayuda psycologica. Culturalmente pensamos que recurrir a este tipo de ayuda significa que somos debiles o "insanos", pero la ayuda que se nos ofrece es poca o impractica. Ademas, no podemos solucionar todos nuestros problemas solos. Algunas de nuestras cualidades culturales radican en el soporte que nuestra comunidad, familia, y amigos nos ofrecen; es tiempo de que este principio aplique en la ayuda psycologica, y esto es en lo que yo me especializo.

I earned my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at UCLA. After completing my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at UCLA (one of the most highly rated Clinical Psychology programs in the nation), I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harbor UCLA Medical Center focusing on Child and Adolescent clinical populations. I have been working with children, adolescents, and their families for more than twenty-five years. I have clinical familiarity with the treatment of a general clinical population as well as more specialized populations like ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, and Depression.

Do you find yourself controlled by shame, from feeling you are “too much” or “not enough”? You desire healthy connections but deep down are struggling with critical self talk or intergenerational patterns that keep you in this shame cycle. You learned to hide your struggles from others. You hide behind your capability, your ability not to need while readily meeting the needs of others. Your extreme independence hides the fear of relying on others, of trusting them. You have tried and tried to ignore the wounds from childhood, from generational trauma, from discrimination, from racism, from having your sensitivity misunderstood.

You are courageous to take the first step toward healing! It is my goal to assist, guide and support my client onward through the Ups, and the Downs that life brings. Lets be open to discover new paths of healing from various issues such as trauma and loss, anxiety and depression, couple and family conflicts and much more. I aspire to create, and maintain a safe space that nurtures the mutual respect and trust needed for growth and healing through Expressive Arts and Talk Therapy modalities.

You feel stuck, like your feet are submerged in thick, dark mud. A stack of boulders weighs down your shoulders. The vibrant, juicy person you used to be feels so far away. Your voice – and your ability to speak up for yourself – is caught in your throat. A critical voice in your mind judges every little thing you say or do, so you’ve stopped taking risks. At work, you feel like an imposter, and your lack of confidence is making it hard to strive for your goals. In relationships, you feel like a small, timid version of yourself. You are so DONE with this stuckness, so ready for change, but you have no idea what to do.

I am accepting new clients. Are you struggling with life transitions, facing anxiety or are haunted by past traumas? Would you like to gain skills to manage your anxiety, be more present, change behaviors that are not benefitting you?

Thank you for visiting me. I know preparing yourself to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and someone you can trust is not easy and takes a lot of courage. If you’ve gotten to this point of being ready to speak with someone new, you’re doing a great job. I consider the therapeutic relationship as one of the most important factors for healing. I prioritize making my clients feel at ease and understood. My main goals in our work together will be to always have hope that everything is healable and to always treat you and your journey with the upmost respect and compassion.

I think Leo McGarry says it best in an episode of The West Wing - A doctor passes by & the guy shouts up, "Hey you! Can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a priest comes along & the guy shouts up, "Father, I'm down in this hole; can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey, Joe, it's me. Can ya help me out?" The friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are ya stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before & I know the way out."

Are you looking for a new creative way to deal with difficulties in life and get in touch with your best self?
