Have you ever wondered whether what you’re carrying is not just personal, but also shaped by your relationships, community, and larger systems of oppression?

I work virtually with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals and couples of all ages. I use narrative therapy to help clients explore the stories shaping their lives and draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to better understand the parts within them. I have a special interest in ADHD, religious deconstruction, racial and cultural identity, and queer experience. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you can question what no longer fits and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and your own.

You may feel exhausted from always bracing for something to go wrong, overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or disconnected from yourself and others. Sometimes these patterns are rooted in trauma—experiences that were overwhelming, isolating, or too much to carry alone. Trauma can emerge suddenly through loss, violation, or crisis, or more quietly over time through relationships where you felt unseen, unsupported, or unsafe. Healing begins with understanding these patterns with compassion rather than shame, creating space to feel more grounded, connected, and fully yourself again.

Whether you’re carrying unspoken pressure, navigating family expectations, or feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or sadness—you don’t have to go through it alone. Many of us grow up learning to be strong, to stay quiet, or to put others first. But your story matters, and your healing matters too. I work with adults and adolescents who may be facing anxiety, depression, grief, difficult relationships, or major life transitions. I also support those carrying intergenerational stress, immigration-related struggles, or the invisible weight of trying to be the “strong one” in the family.

As an immigrant myself, I understand some of the challenges that can come with navigating identity, belonging, family expectations, and existing between different worlds and cultures. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC individuals, immigrants, neurodivergent folks, and people of all genders and identities.

Accepting new clients. Therapy is a space for your beliefs and fears to be explored without judgement. Much of what I do is help clients grow in their ability to identify and reframe the stories they have long ago formed about themself and others. Not to deny these stories completely, but to expand and even correct them where blind spots previously existed. I have a great deal of gratitude and compassion for the intimate, sometimes painful, places my clients allow me to explore alongside them. Regardless of where you find yourself, I would be honored to sit with you. I believe we are each nuanced and worthy of this exploration.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. 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 experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
