Therapy provides such a rich opportunity for growth and learning, helping persons to recover from the aftermaths of trauma, abuse and loss, meet the hardships of their lives and thrive. In times like this, with so much anxiety about our collective welfare, it can be an invaluable lifeline.

¡Hola! I'm Denisse and reconnecting to my Latinx culture, ancestors, roots, and motherland in this last year has been an core part of my development as a psychotherapist and the inspiration in creating Ancestral Therapy, a relational, non-pathologizing, liberation centered, and culturally affirming therapeutic lens for first gen, children of immigrants, bicultural identifying folk, and black or brown bodies who need more than just talk therapy but want to reclaim their power, break cycles of generational trauma, access the innate wisdom of their body, and process the impact of colonization and systemic oppression onto their people.

I believe that healing happens with an integration of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Coming from a holistic background, philosophy, and lifestyle, this integration is focused upon in your therapeutic work. In supporting each person to express their authentic selves, needs, and desires, I utilize several therapeutic modalities. Some of these modalities include Expressive Arts, Body-Oriented Psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Centered, EMDR, EFT, IFS, and Mindfulness. I am also trained in Brief Therapy methods for those who want support with a specific challenge or prefer therapy in small pieces at a time.
