Strength-Based Therapists in Carrboro, NC

Hola and welcome! I am a Bilingual (English-Spanish) Latina Therapist based in North Carolina. I enjoy working with individuals (ages 16 to 35+) who face challenges related to self-worth/esteem, identity/cultural issues, acculturation issues, family-of-origin experiences, family conflict and interpersonal difficulties, as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma. To me, therapy is unique to the person thus I tailor my approach to your needs!

Taking the step to find a therapist can be overwhelming. I am glad you are here. My goal is to provide a safe space for self-exploration, change, and healing. I work with children, teenagers, and adults dealing with a variety of challenges, including painful feelings, emotional numbness, undesired behaviors, unhelpful thinking, mood challenges, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, life changes, and ongoing stress. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, compassionate, collaborative, and empowering. I see you, I am here for you, and I believe in you.

My love is helping people learn to navigate the terrain of the body and to find the wisdom and freedom of feeling and ‘sensing’ as ways of knowing and healing. This domain is difficult to navigate alone - We live in a time when our nervous systems are deeply taxed and carry significant trauma, and in which the cultural resources for healing have been repressed or lost under the weight of systems of oppression. I want to help you find your way back to a sense of wholeness by listening to your innate wisdom. Please note- I only accept clients who have some form of contemplative practice because it creates a foundation for our work!

You can feel connected, confident, safe, and energized in your life and relationships. I'd like to help. I'm interested in you and your relationships. Your relationship with others and relationship with self. Your relationship with work and rest. Your relationship with identity. Your relationship with your story, your past, and your future. Your relationship with your losses, your injuries, and your grief. ​Your relationship with things seen and things felt.

I believe everyone just wants to be heard and validated. When people reach out for help and want to set some goals to change and grow, I am here to listen. I would like to help you create some steps and options for you to become your best self. I accepting Optum (United, Oscar, & Oxford), Aetna, & Cigna insurance plans.

Many of us are struggling with anxiety and depression in these challenging times. As a holistic practitioner, my goal is to help my clients find the priority that will allow them to discover a route to a more satisfying life. Too often we remain constricted with pain and fear from the past or broken dreams and worries about the future. If we are able to connect with the healer within, we can find peace and stability in our present circumstances, no matter how chaotic our external world. We can find a way to remove the blockages that keep us from seeing the Truth and Beauty all around us.

People in helping professions are natural givers, but our empathy and compassion can’t keep us from becoming over-extended, unbalanced, and burned out. I help people dealing with these issues understand their challenges and rediscover fulfillment from their work and joy in their lives. My other passions include working with people to navigate a wide variety of transition and/or identity-related areas of life, including: aging, LGBTQIA+, relationships, career, and parenting.

As an expressive arts therapist, I promote the healing power of the arts and am dedicated to helping my clients discover their strengths and healing potential. I love being able to walk with people on their healing journies, guiding them through transitions and periods of growth. I have worked with a variety of people including children with physical illness, at-risk adolescents, adults with mental illness, seniors both with and without dementia, refugees and immigrants and as a supervisor for art therapists seeking art therapy registration. I have worked in schools, hospitals, retirement centers and mental health agencies.

I'm so glad you're here. You are so courageous to have begun this journey. You've just taken the first step to feeling better- to creating a happier, more peaceful future. I believe we are not meant to manage the struggles of life alone. Often what we need is a listening ear and an outside perspective to provide gentle feedback and guidance. That's where I come in. You will be met with empathy and kindness in a non-judgmental space. I identify as liberal and strive to provide inclusive, culturally competent care. Regardless of why you're struggling, I'd be honored to provide support. I hope to hear from you soon.

I believe that the foundation of therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect. I will meet you where you are and offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share and explore challenges.

I want to support you in healing in the deepest possible way. This has led me to explore the very roots of suffering, from the perspective of the ancient sages and from the perspective of modern trauma therapy. I support my people in experiencing the reality that exists beyond the bounds of the conditioned mind. I wield the wisdom of the body to facilitate deep transformation. I weave a nuanced understanding of the particular challenges modern minds face into what I offer to support my people in safely opening more and more fully to the freedom, love, and deep internal well-being available to us when we connect to who we truly are.
