I specialize in working with Spanish-speaking children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. As an Afro-Latina, bilingual therapist and daughter of immigrants, I understand the weight of intergenerational and multicultural trauma firsthand. I offer a safe, trauma-informed space — in Spanish or English — where women and girls can heal, rebuild self-worth, and reclaim joy, purpose, and peace.
I offer specialized, holistic therapy, drawing from CBT, attachment-based, and other approaches. My background as a bilingual Afro-Latina enhances cultural competence, creating a safe space for diverse clients to grow and heal. Empowering individuals for a fulfilling life.
I understand that seeking help can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate your journey alone. I'm here to listen, understand, and support you on your path to healing and growth. Your unique experiences and needs matter to me. Please reach out; together, we can work towards a brighter future.
