I am a bilingual therapist who has a deep passion to see people experience the best this life has to offer! When you aren't experiencing that, I would love to create a safe, non-judgmental place to explore what's happening within yourself and relationships that could be contributing to your discomfort. I have traveled, studied, and worked abroad and love to work with diverse populations. So, if you're experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, or whatever range of other emotions and issues, give me a call to set up a free 15 minute consultation. I'd love to see if we can work together!

Do You Feel Stuck, Disconnected, or Unable to Move Forward? Maybe you're carrying the weight of past experiences, feeling emotionally numb, or struggling to feel present in your own life. Perhaps you’re in a relationship where the same arguments keep happening, and no matter how much you try, you and your partner can’t seem to get on the same page. You might even be working through the pain of infidelity, trying to decide whether your relationship can heal or if it’s time to let go.
When you’ve been through trauma, it can feel like your emotions are locked away, leaving you feeling stuck, detached, or unable to feel much at all.

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.
