Spanish-Speaking Therapists in Chicago, IL
My deepest intention as a therapist is to create a space that feels genuinely yours, one where you can arrive exactly as you are and feel truly heard, seen, and understood. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is where healing actually happens and when that relationship feels safe and authentic, that's where transformation becomes possible. My path to this work runs deep, rooted in my Ecuadorian heritage, the resilience of navigating life as a first-generation college student, and true to my Pisces moon — a lifelong, intuitive empathy that I bring into every session. I meet you where you are at.

I’m a Latina, first-generation, queer therapist, with several years of clinical experience. I work with adults who appear capable on the outside but feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck on the inside. My ideal clients are navigating the impact of trauma, identity exploration, grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, often alongside major life transitions or a persistent feeling that something in their life no longer fits. I have a special passion for working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals who are ready to explore what it would feel like to live more freely and authentically.

I enjoy working with patients who are committed to the process. Patients that want to learn, grow and expand their understandings of themselves and others. Though cases are often complex, I believe the focus is often on the deep connection between the old and new relationships in their lives. I meet clients where they are at in the process to overcome trauma, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, loss, anger or severe diagnosis as bipolar, schizophrenia, ptsd and bpd.

Therapy can be a process of unfolding for individuals and families. Whether deepening insight and self awareness, increasing compassion, or finding new ways to address life, the process of readying one's self for change can start in the quiet, reflective space of therapy. I provide in person and virtual psychotherapy and consultations to residents of Illinois and Indiana. While my therapeutic approach is eclectic, I rely on a psychodynamic understanding of the lifespan, third wave behavioral approaches to change, and I center the importance of self-integration.

Accepting New Clients as of 7/2025
Working with and supporting families through some of life’s most difficult transitions is what led me to a deep desire to support families during one of the biggest transitions: pregnancy and parenthood. My own journey to motherhood highlighted the critical need for specialized support in perinatal mental health. I often felt alone, as though nobody ever spoke about the things I was experiencing. Understanding the unique emotional complexities surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and the identity shift of parenthood, I am passionate about ensuring that others don’t feel “alone” in their experiences.

Feeling different can be exhausting, lonely, and overwhelming. You may feel out of place or like you don’t belong. Some carry this from early life into adulthood. For others, it may arise through chronic illness or disability. I’m passionate about working with those who have felt misunderstood, overlooked, or unseen. My work centers BIPOC folks who are chronically ill, neurodivergent, or those who feel they have had to shrink to be accepted. I support folks navigating identity exploration, workplace stress, and major life transitions. This may present as anxiety, depression, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your community.
