If OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or perfectionism are making your world feel small, you’re not alone. I help adults untangle from fear so they can build a life rooted in freedom, meaning, and self-trust. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their thoughts, stuck in “what-ifs,” or exhausted from trying to manage anxiety on their own. Therapy can be a place to breathe again, feel understood, and learn evidence-based tools that genuinely help.

Maybe you’ve spent so much of your life caring for others that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to care for yourself. You’ve learned to keep going, push through, and carry more than most people realize. But somewhere along the way, you began to feel disconnected, from your peace, your relationships, or even yourself. Whether you’re carrying the weight of trauma, grief, anxiety, burnout, or a life that no longer feels like your own, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe healing begins when you no longer have to pretend you’re okay.

Many of the people I work with are strong, capable, and outwardly successful, yet inside they feel anxious, overwhelmed, or quietly ashamed for not feeling “happy enough.” Often, they grew up in environments where their feelings were minimized or unsafe to express. They learned to cope by being high-functioning, self-reliant, and accommodating, even when it came at the cost of their own needs. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist trained in EMDR, CBT, and somatic-based approaches. This means we don’t just talk about what happened, we work gently and effectively with how your mind, nervous system and body are still carrying it.

Hi, I’m Jessica—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and big believer in the power of healing conversations.
Say you are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re stuck in your own head—spinning with worries, heavy with sadness, or at odds with your body and how you feel in it. You’re trying so hard, and you just want a little relief, a little peace, a little breathing room to feel like yourself again. You’re craving support that actually feels supportive—not clinical or cold, but human. You’re ready for change but not sure where to start.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
