I am a bilingual (Spanish) and multicultural therapist who has been in the field for almost 10 years. Most of my experience has been working in non-profit organizations and Community Health Centers serving children and adults of diverse backgrounds, mainly Latino clients. I generally see clients dealing anxiety and depression symptoms, history of trauma, and acculturation stress. I am a strong believer that we can all benefit from therapy; a safe and non judgmental space to process our feelings and emotions, and better manage the inevitable life stressors.
