I have experience supporting diverse populations and enjoy helping clients navigate family boundaries, particularly when cultural expectations and generational differences are involved. For many individuals with immigrant family backgrounds, balancing personal goals with family values can feel complicated, and therapy can be a space to explore those dynamics and find a path that feels authentic.
My style is warm, practical, and collaborative. I aim to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance.

For most of us, life can be hard and difficult to navigate. Life stressors can make you feel defeated and unable to be present. It’s important to talk about tough topics. People are hesitant to be honest and vulnerable with their feelings and thoughts for fear of judgment when the reality is that we all are human and share similar negative thoughts and experiences. The more we are able to talk about it, the more we understand and can focus on supporting each other. We also experience loss, hopelessness, moments of feeling overwhelmed or lost. Let’s get better together where you feel safe and respected to do so. You deserve wellness!

You are tired of beating yourself up and questioning your worth. You spread yourself thin caring and doing for others, and still feel as though you are unworthy of their love. It's hard for you to stand by your own needs and boundaries. You feel guilty for asking for too much and ashamed of not being enough. You spend a lot of time worrying about what people think of you, cringing at every interaction you have, and ruminating over every mistake. Your body feels tense and on edge. Your heartbeat is fast and your breathing is shallow. You can hear all the nasty ways in which you are talking to yourself, but you can’t make it stop.

Imagine saying "no" without spending the next three days wondering if you hurt someone's feelings. Trusting yourself instead of replaying every conversation in your head. Coming home with enough energy to enjoy your life instead of feeling like you have nothing left to give. For so long, you've been the one anticipating needs, keeping things running, and showing up no matter what. Somewhere along the way, you learned how to give before you learned how to receive. Now you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself, wondering what happened to the version of you who felt lighter and more like yourself.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. 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 experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
