I love working with people of Latino decent at different levels of acculturation, adults, couples, families, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Working with clients has taught me each client, couple, and/or family is unique and deserves a treatment plan that is formulated to their needs. I have discovered that my job is to meet the client where they are and to utilize a modality or set of modalities that best serves my clients. I have learned to help clients peel back the layers so you can address what brought you into therapy. I am happy working with individuals as well as people in relationships, couples, and people with open and polyamorous relationship styles. My goal is to help give you the tools to improve all the relationships in your life.

Also, as a Latinx psychologist, having a safe space for identity exploration is essential to my work with youth.

As a queer Latinx person, I have very personal and unique connections to the field of mental health that allow me to stay passionate and grounded when working alongside clients from marginalized groups.
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has had the privilege of serving a diverse clientele across multiple systems and settings in a therapeutic environment. Part of what makes my approach different as a therapist is my emphasis on intersectionality and treating the whole person to work toward healing and recovery. I assist my clients in validating, processing, and identifying how their identity and experiences shape their mental health journey.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
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.
