I am a bilingual, bicultural Latina therapist experienced in working with diverse communities. I have experience working with children, individuals, couples and groups to address trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. Life is not easy. We have all faced challenges and circumstances that have profound effects on our sense of self. Trauma and pain deny us access to hear our own voice. Unresolved grief, pain, anger, shame, guilt or emotional neglect silence our voices. I offer you a safe, supportive and challenging environment that will allow you to explore and grow in your areas of need and reclaim your voice.

Do you ever feel that somewhere along the parenting path you lost yourself? Maybe your relationship has suffered? Or you find yourself feeling resentful, short tempered, distant or just plain tired?! I help parents reclaim their identity and their relationship while raising children in an authentic way. You have probably read countless parenting books, blogs, or magazines. You have tried successfully, or unsuccessfully to get your partner on board with your attempts to be the perfect parent. You do all of this because you love your children with more passion you thought possible. But in the process you’ve lost a part of yourself.

Through a combination of play therapy, creative interventions, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, I help clients feel safe enough to explore challenges, learn new skills, and build resilience.
Does your child seem anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly worried? Are they having frequent meltdowns, struggling to manage big emotions, withdrawing from family and friends, or having difficulties at school? Perhaps they've experienced a traumatic event, are struggling with self-esteem, or seem stuck in patterns that leave them feeling frustrated and misunderstood. I work with children, teens, young adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, depression, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions. Together, we help clients better understand their feelings and develop healthy coping skills.

I specialize in somatic therapy, Polyvagal-informed approaches, and nervous system regulation alongside CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness work.
Something shifted, maybe gradually, maybe all at once, and now you're searching for a therapist who genuinely gets it. Not someone with a clipboard and a script, but a real human who will sit with you in the hard places without flinching. You might be carrying trauma that lives more in your body than your mind, or grief that doesn't fit anyone's timeline. Maybe anxiety wakes you at 3am or shows up as a tight chest you can't explain. You might be in recovery, navigating a major loss, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Whatever brought you here: the fact that you're looking is wisdom, not weakness.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
