I believe that feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma, and the challenges of life transitions are a natural part of the human experience. My goal is to offer compassionate guidance to help individuals navigate these emotions, empowering them to manage life’s difficulties and discover greater fulfillment. Central to my approach is the idea of ‘turning down the volume’ on emotional turmoil, reducing the overwhelming intensity of these feelings so that clarity and perspective can emerge. In this quieter, reflective space, I help clients explore their inner world, gain deeper self-understanding, and move toward a more balanced life.

Choosing to go to therapy is both a courageous and meaningful step in someone's life. In my experience, some clients enter treatment having a sense of what is troubling them and have made great efforts to resolve these difficulties, and yet these painful feelings persist. And other times, clients are only aware of the hurt they are feeling and are looking for ways to identify it's source and alleviate their discomfort. I have found that the therapeutic relationship can be helpful in both circumstances and seek to provide an approach that is best characterized by warmth, flexibility, openness, active engagement, and sensitivity.

Going to therapy implies the courage to question ourselves and face the challenges that get in the way of self-acceptance. Our lives change and we often struggle to change with it.

As a native Spanish-English speaker, I provide a culturally sensitive approach to therapy and am mindful of race, gender, sexuality, and class intersections. My background and my current role as a clinician at Harvard University Counseling and Mental Health Services have allowed me to work with patients from all over the world.

I believe therapy is less about “fixing” and more about cultivating awareness, exploring patterns, and finding new ways of relating to yourself and others. Whether you're navigating identity or life transitions, seeking to strengthen your connection as a couple, or looking for more harmony within your family, I tailor therapy to your unique story. As a 1st-gen Latina, I bring a multicultural lens to how our personal histories and environments shape who we are and how we move through the world. I welcome BIPOC individuals and intercultural or interfaith couples, honoring the richness and challenges of navigating multiple identities.

I approach working with all clients recognizing that they are the experts on their lives, and with curiosity regarding their lived experiences. I am compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental in my approach. I use the modality most appropriate for the client, including Narrative, Relational, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies.

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.

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.
