I'm confident we can find ways to create balance in your life and manage the ongoing stressors.

I specialize in helping those who seek healing from religious trauma/injury, reconciling faith and identity as LGBTQ+, or carrying intergenerational or cultural wounds—particularly within the Hispanic community.
I love working with individuals who need a safe, supportive space to lay down their burdens and explore the roots of their emotions. Navigating the pressures of society, culture, or family can make feelings like anxiety and depression feel overwhelming and isolating. You deserve a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can process your emotions, gain clarity, and rediscover your sense of balance and strength. I am dedicated to providing a safe space for all, with a special focus on spiritual counseling.

Coping with trauma or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel next to impossible. You feel out of control in your own life. You react emotionally to situations and later regret your actions. Your world might have gotten smaller and smaller as you feel like you can’t connect with others, or feel less safe in your surroundings. You want to create a life with meaning that you enjoy living, but you don't know how. You worry that you may never have healthy relationships with yourself or others. If this sounds like you, I can help.

Maybe you’re feeling touched-out, overwhelmed or you don't recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror anymore. This may be during a break up, job transition, infertility, during the changes of pregnancy and motherhood, or grief and loss. Maybe you want to heal past trauma or understand the impact of attachment style on your current relationships or parenting. Whatever brings you here, you’ll find the empathy and validation you’ve been craving. I have a special affinity for working with clients struggling with pregnancy, parenting, postpartum and grief/loss.

Helping people is my passion. I believe that individuals suffering from OCD and anxiety-related disorders are trapped by their symptoms and, through psychotherapeutic treatment, can find their potential and learn how to live a life of value and purpose.

Hey y’all!

With an emphasis on relational, humanistic, and person-centered approaches, I most commonly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based treatment modalities. But the bottom line - your therapy can be adapted to your own needs as I am open to accommodating you on your journey to healing.

I work with adolescents and adults (15+) who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. These patterns are often related to anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, relationships, or questions about identity and sexuality (LGBTQ+). Many clients already understand why they struggle (although some don't and that's fine too), but want help turning insight into real, lasting change.

You’re Not Stuck—Just Searching for the Right Guide.
Life doesn’t come with a manual, and no one prepared you for:
•The job loss that shook your identity
•The relationship that left you questioning your worth
•The childhood wounds that still whisper “not enough”
•The overwhelming sense that everyone else has it figured out.
Here’s what I know: Your struggles aren’t a sign of weakness, they’re proof you’re human. But you don’t have to navigate them alone.

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.
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.
