I work with people who feel anxious, stuck, or like everyone else is moving forward while they’re standing still. As a Latina therapist, I get how hard it can be to keep it together when you’re exhausted from doing it all. Many of my clients are successful on paper but still feel lonely, disconnected, or unsure about what’s next. I show up as myself—warm, honest, and human—and invite you to do the same. Together we’ll use EMDR, attachment-based, and culturally grounded therapy to help you find balance, peace, and real confidence again.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.
