| español You're feeling overwhelmed with all the changes in your life. Maybe it’s adjusting to marriage, parenthood or dealing with postpartum. Maybe the spark has left your marriage and you've started having an affair, or you're feeling upside down having just discovered your partner is having an affair. Maybe you just got divorced and feel like you lost your identity. Or you're worried about the impact the divorce will have on your children. Whatever it is, you feel like you have no one to turn to, no one to confide in, and your mind is filled with racing thoughts.
Imagine how it would feel to confide in someone who will calmly and neutrally guide you through this overwhelming time in your life. We will explore the different struggles you’re facing and give you the tools to get back on track in control of your life.
I offer a free 15-minute video consultation so you can see if I’m the right fit for you. I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) therapist with extensive experience working with the Latinx community, bicultural couples and families. I approach my work with cultural humility, helping you feel seen, heard & understood. Immigration Evaluations also available.
