Anxiety can be so overwhelming and persistent that it feels like it's taking over. Sadness, grief, and depression may feel so heavy and unmanageable that the simple but vital parts of life such as sleeping, eating, and work are difficult or complicated. Your pain might be related to a recent stressful event like heartbreak or the death of someone close to you, or maybe it is less acute but feels endless. Perhaps there is an atmosphere of dread, loneliness, fear, and frustration. Relationships become conflict- ridden or devoid of real feeling. There is a sense that you're doing it wrong or always making the same mistakes.

I have practiced as a therapist for over twenty years and specialize in helping people integrate unresolved aspects of the past in order to live more freely in the present. Exploring adaptive strategies which used to help but have become limiting over time; meeting all parts of ourselves with curiosity and compassion; cultivating consciousness around thinking and feeling patterns; bringing attention to the body and working with the nervous system to soften areas of tension and holding - these are ways therapy can deepen insight and support ease and well being.

Bienvenidos/Welcome! I am a bilingual/bicultural Spanish-speaking therapist located in the East Bay area of California.

Grief can hit you like a ton of bricks, out of nowhere or over the smallest things. It can feel all-consuming, lonely, and confusing. I’m talking about all sorts of loss; death of a loved one, loving someone with a terminal illness, losing a family pet, losing a job, breaking up with a partner, pregnancy termination, and more. Each one has it's own unique character and pain, just as no loss is the same as another. And still, we can find connection through loss to ourselves, our loved ones, our humanity and our future.
