Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Lafayette, CA

Welcome! As a bicultural, bilingual psychologist I enjoy working with children, adolescents and parents of diverse backgrounds. I feel privileged to be part of supporting a child and their parent/caregiver with establishing or building a stronger relationship and learning healthier ways to communicate. My clinical background is in working with children, adolescents and their caregivers who have experienced trauma or need some strategies to help learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings. I also support pre-and post-pregnancy women learn how to manage their mental health challenges as they are healing physically and emotion

We understand many people feel ashamed having to seek therapy for their child, family or themselves. However, no one is perfect and we all need help from time to time. We have created a relaxing atmosphere where you will not feel judged. We are here to assist you through a difficult time and to make the changes you need to make. Teens need help to. It is very common for teens to need therapy to deal with an issue in their life.

Becoming a parent is a unique and transformative experience. From the moment of conception through the journey of parenting there is an array of unknown rewards, challenges and experiences. At times parents have no idea how they will feel or react to these challenges and realize that they need help and support through their own journey as parents. Research proves the way we were parented, the environment in which we developed, and the situations around us influence the way we feel and behave as parents.

I'm an integrative gestalt psychotherapist and offer present-centered, holistic psychotherapy. Together we explore your experience as a whole, including your emotions, thoughts, sensations, and perceptions as they emerge in the present moment. That way, we bring to light unmet needs and access new insights and ways of being that can orient you and your relationships towards living your life with increased connection and congruency with your authenticity.
