Life can feel heavy, even when you're doing your best. You show up, care for others, hold it all together. But under the surface, there might be anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or a quiet sense that you’ve lost touch with yourself. Whether you're navigating a life transition, healing from past experiences, or facing the deep exhaustion of new motherhood, therapy can be a space to breathe again. A space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.

I believe that every client seeking services has a baseline strength of residency and bravery. I gravitate towards clients who are seeking therapy on their own accord as means to elicit change and who are open to collaboration and receiving feedback in the therapeutic setting. I enjoy working with clients who are not afraid to use resources, and want to increase life satisfaction levels. I have extensive experience in providing services to adults with mood, personality, and trauma related disorders as well as intellectual/physical disabilities, self injurious behaviors, legal issues, and multicultural factors.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself, I want you to know you’re not alone. Maybe you’re dealing with self-doubt, relationship problems, or just feeling like things aren’t going the way you want. That’s normal, and it’s okay. Sometimes, things that happened when you were little can show up in your life now as self-doubt, anxiety, or difficulty trusting yourself. My goal is to help you reconnect with that part of you, heal old wounds, and start feeling safer, loved, and confident.

You’re a capable, high-achieving woman, but inside your mind never stops. You overthink, replay conversations, and get stuck in “what if” loops. Anxiety shows up as sleepless nights, tension, and second-guessing yourself. Perfectionism and self-doubt hold you back from setting boundaries or making decisions. Deep down, you want more calm, confidence, and clarity, and you’re ready to feel at ease in your own life.

We all wish life was as good as it seems on social media. The reality is that navigating life can be challenging—especially when carrying the weight of experiences shaped by culture, identity, and expectations. It can feel like different parts of who we are don’t quite fit together, or we struggle to find spaces where we truly belong. It can be exhausting to explain our experiences to others who may not understand or face the pressures of balancing different all of our identities. I’m here to offer a supportive and affirming space where you can process challenges and explore identity in ways that feel authentic to you.

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.
