Have you ever felt like no matter who you talk to, you never feel heard? Often times we talk to our families, friends, partners, etc, and never actually feel seen or heard by anyone. This could be a very lonely feeling for anyone which can lead to more symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other life challenges. Being the flashlight in someone's life is my job. I like to make my clients feel seen, heard and validated! My ideal clients are adults, teens and children.

Most clients come into therapy because of their current difficulty resolving a "presenting problem". That problem could be grief. It could be relationship troubles with partners, peers, or parents. It could be tied to substance abuse. Or trauma. Or both. It could be work-related. It could be a million things. Whatever the presenting problem, it tends to give the client physiological and psychological discomfort, which leads to the search for answers and relief, which often leads to counseling.

There is no correct or easy path through trauma and the problems it creates in our lives. It is true when they say that the “only way out is through.” As someone who personally and professionally has experience with trauma, I am able to therapeutically guide individuals through the healing process without judgment. I want others to know it's okay to feel their feelings and that sometimes we need a little help to feel safe doing so. Therapy should be a space that you can create with your therapist, as all of us define safety and comfort in different ways.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culturally competent therapy, as well as the battles that the Latino community faces in society and stigma towards mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for me to understand your culture and diversity factors to have a better sense of who you are as a person in hopes that together we can explore ways in which I can help you reach your therapy goals. Throughout my years of practice, I have seen how different issues and symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress can weigh a person down; and obstruct the individual's ability to deal with the present moment.

As a Hispanic/Latina Mental Health Professional who is also a first-generation Mexican-American, I understand the importance of a person's need to get culturally informed emotional support. It is essential for me to understand where you come from and provide you with the best therapy care to achieve your goals because I believe it significantly improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and more. Additionally, my work in mental health has brought me to various environments where I've seen the impact of not having specialized support while struggling with diverse emotional needs.

I believe that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, that offers the opportunity to process and make sense of emotions and experiences, and move towards deeper sense of self understanding. I am dedicated to helping people identify how certain thoughts, feelings and behaviors contribute to distress, and creating a collaborative path to change. My passion for providing therapy comes from the belief that we are inherently aware of what we need to be successful and are capable of making the changes necessary to move in a positive direction.
