I utilize cognitive therapies like CBT and ACT to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety.
You are a helper, you care for your children, your family, friends, community; but lately you’re wondering who cares for you?
When we give all of ourselves to those we love, we sometimes feel disconnected, exhausted, depleted, and worst of all we beat ourselves up because we should be able to “do it all.” Here’s the thing, no-one can do it all, and no-one can do it alone. I support mothers and caregivers at every stage, from family planning to pregnancy, through childbirth motherhood and beyond. Even through the unimaginable pain of loss, in pregnancy, of a family member or of a child.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. Working with the right therapist is such an important part of the healing process, especially if you've rarely felt heard or understood by others. My clients often struggle with relational issues, feeling close to people, and crave connection, but also fear it. They might also people please, feel like they're "too much" or "not good enough", and struggle with perfectionism or be self-critical. If this sounds like you, then you're in the right place. I'm a Latina trauma therapist who specializes in Complex Trauma (CPTSD), childhood neglect/abuse, breaking intergenerational patterns, and cultural concerns.

I draw from theories & modalities such as narrative, attachment, mindfulness, CBT, ACT, and EMDR.
First, know this: you are worthy of being heard, and deserving of healing. In our sessions together, we will engage your story with both compassion and curiosity — so that we may place your past & present in a new context and help you begin to wade into even the most dark & painful parts. In doing so, we will identify the connecting thread that moves through your life and create a safe space for you to become “unstuck.” It is my sincere hope that you will walk away from our time together feeling seen, known, and more connected to your True Self.

You’re carrying grief that doesn’t resolve cleanly — loss that circles back without warning, that shows up in your body before it shows up in your thoughts. Maybe you’re also navigating depression that won’t lift, mood instability that disrupts your relationships and work, or trauma that talk therapy alone hasn’t touched. You’ve tried to think your way through it — analyzed it, made sense of it — and you’re still stuck. You want therapy that goes deeper than coping skills.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
