Spanish-Speaking Therapists in Washington, DC
I am a Bilingual (English and Spanish-speaking) clinician with over 9 years of experience working with diverse populations.
Many times as People of Color we often feel alone with our situation or don’t feel understood. We may have thoughts that we are not good enough or that we are different. Is that you? I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to suffer in silence anymore. I recognize that our past has influenced our present- but it does not need to dictate our future! I provide a warm, non-judgmental approach to help you reframe your story. I believe it is important to feel both seen and heard in therapy. With the right tools, emphatic support, knowledge and determination, everyone can heal, maximize their potential and enjoy life to the fullest.

Life in DC can be intense. High expectations, constant pressure, complex relationships, and the feeling that you're supposed to have it together- even when you don't. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, dating/relationship challenges, complicated family dynamics, spiritual concerns, and major life transitions. Outwardly things may look "fine," and internally you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get honest, and understand your self without judgment or pressure to perform.

As a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latinx therapist, I know how messy life transitions can feel; especially when they involve cultural shifts, identity struggles, or relationship challenges.
Does it ever feel like you’re caught between worlds? Whether you’re adapting to life in a new country, reconciling your family’s expectations with your own, or feeling the weight of being “the first” to figure it all out, life can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re an immigrant building a new chapter far from home, a first-gen juggling cultures and identities, or in a relationship trying to navigate your differences while staying connected. You’re doing your best, but inside, the self-doubt, anxiety, and disconnection are exhausting. You’re longing for clarity, connection, and a life that feels like your own.

After almost 40 years of practice I see my ideal client as one who is ready for change. Ultimately, life is the method by which we grow. I work with a variety of tools to meet each client where they are. I have faith that we can all meet the challenges within ourselves and in life and find the inner capacity to move forward. My clients have ranged from those healing from a recent or historical trauma to those wanting life coaching. I have a holistic/systemic vision of my clients and enjoy working with body, mind spirit when appropriate.

The past few years have stretched many of us in unexpected ways. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for support, therapy can be a powerful place to regain clarity and steadiness. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship challenges, major life transitions, parenting stress, and work/unemployment pressures.
I tailor our sessions to meet your needs using cognitive, behavioral, and acceptance-based approaches. And I've had success with various styles of therapy ranging from classic, evidence-based techniques (e.g., CBT) to informal life-coaching.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or struggling to cope with grief, depression, trauma, or major life changes. Sometimes people come to therapy because they’ve spent years taking care of everyone else while losing touch with themselves. I work with adults who want more than just symptom relief, they want to better understand themselves, feel more connected in relationships, and create lasting change in their lives.

If life is so much better when shared with someone, why does having a loving and healthy relationship sometimes seem so hard? The more you try to make things better, the worse it gets. Any cry for help only leads to more distance, more conflict. You live with your frustration and hope that change will come but nothing happens. You’ve felt the pull of hopelessness, isolation is not an option, and you’ve run out of the usual coping strategies. As a Certified Emotionally Focused therapist, my goal is to help you find your way out of the maze and create stronger and healthier relationships with your loved one(s).
