Los Angeles, CA 90015
I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
¡SÍ se puede! As a child of immigrants, I grappled with dilemmas of self-identity amidst the pressures of acculturation and assimilation. I embrace cultural diversity. Nonetheless, as a Latina I continue to fight against societal and cultural norms. How do you merge conflicting expectations and be at peace? My personal success with these issues, along with formal education and subsequent training have made me a strong bicultural therapist. Thus, I truly believe that memories and emotions are best processed in the language you experience them in because they are inextricably linked and are part of our identity.

I bring fourteen years of expertise working with children, adolescents and their families in areas such as generational conflict, parenting challenges, blended families, acculturation, difficulties with infertility, anxiety and depression.
Many people are hurting in their day- to- day life. Sometimes the hurt is a personal one like depression, anxiety, poor self- esteem, grief and loss and other times it is a relational challenge within marriage, with children or teens and or with family or friends. Healing is possible though often times not easy to know where to start. I am here to help you take the first steps on your personal healing journey and guide you to navigate the process throughout. Don't let unspoken fears hold you back from getting help. You can thrive and not just survive but it all starts with the first step.

Have you been suddenly hit with overwhelming fear, worry, anxiety, leaving you feeling out of control? Are you feeling sad and lonely but you are too ashamed or reluctant to tell anyone about it? These experiences can leave a person feeling helpless and hopeless. There are ways to alleviate these intense feelings. There are many mental health professionals from whom to choose, but what really matters now is, "Who can help me?" Entering psychotherapy can be confusing. In an empathic and safe environment, I help each client understand how their past affects their present so that they may achieve the desired change in their life.
