I am a Florida-licensed psychologist born and raised in Cuba and focus on providing individual psychotherapy tailored to Hispanic/Latina women aged 30 and older.
Are you exhausted from catering to other people's needs—your family, partners, friends, and colleagues while neglecting your own—but unsure how to change? Even though you’re left feeling angry, you may suppress those feelings. You may feel guilty when you prioritize your needs. You may often feel compelled to please others (but not yourself) and struggle to set boundaries. Your decisions might often be influenced by their effects on those around you rather than being guided by your own needs, feelings, and wants, potentially limiting your freedom to authentically choose. As a result, your own desires may be overlooked.

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.

As a second-generation American from a vibrant Latinx community, I bring personal and professional experience in addressing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges.
I use evidence-based therapies, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a gold standard approach with strong research support. ACT helps you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions, gives a framework to identify what a meaningful life looks like to you, and equips you with the skills to walk that path.

As a first-generation Hispanic woman, I draw empathy, personal experience, and professional expertise to help clients navigate their healing journey.
My passion lies in trauma, including medical trauma, cultural identity, generational wounds, and women’s issues. I’m committed to creating a safe space for those navigating life-altering medical diagnoses, grappling with grief and uncertainty, fear, or struggling to balance cultural expectations while seeking self-acceptance. I understand how overwhelming and isolating this journey can be, like traveling an unknown road without a clear map. But you don't have to navigate it alone - together, we will find a path towards clarity, strength, and self - discovery.

Via my doctoral training experiences at the Hartford Job Corps, the University of Connecticut’s Center for Mental Health Services, the Counseling Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Florida International University’s Counseling and Psychological Services center, I found passion and excitement working with emerging and young adult populations, especially those who identify as male in gender, LGBTQ+, and/or Hispanic/ Latinx.
I consider myself to be an integrative therapist with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my theoretical base. That said, I often incorporate mindfulness, self-compassion, interpersonal, and emotion-focused techniques in my practice. I also enjoy providing therapy services to help those with identity, interpersonal, and anxiety-based concerns.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. 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 comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
