Psychotherapist/ Curandera/Adjunct Professor.a/Group Practice Owner/Mother-
My ideal client is someone navigating the complexities of identity, culture, and intergenerational trauma. They may feel the weight of family expectations, systemic oppression, or a disconnection from their roots. They seek healing, deeper self-understanding, and a path toward liberation. Their goals often include breaking cycles, reclaiming voice, and creating space for joy and wholeness. They want to live more fully—aligned with their values, ancestry, and authentic self.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I focus on uncovering unconscious patterns, especially those shaped by intergenerational trauma. I work with individuals navigating identity, culture, and social justice, weaving clinical training with ancestral wisdom. I also work with couples in building a more secure and safe bond that breaks generational patterns.
As a Curandera, I honor ancestral, spiritual and cultural healing practices to help clients reclaim silenced parts of themselves. I'm also an Adjunct Professor and group practice owner committed to integrative mental health. Most importantly, I’m a mother—grounding my work in empathy and love. Healing is not only possible—it is your birthright.
