Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been carrying painful experiences, overwhelming emotions, or life transitions on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood — a place where healing can begin at your own pace. Art therapy can be especially helpful for those who find it difficult to put their inner world into words. You do not need to be an artist — only open to exploring. Through the creative process, we can deepen self-understanding and our emotions, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel lost or silenced.

I believe counseling is a deeply personal space where you take the risk to explore internally what you need to grow and thrive, as well as explore the different pains that may get in the way of you changing. My counseling approach is client-centered, multicultural, and psychodynamic, which means If you choose to work with me I will tend to focus on how past relationships, experiences and cultural messages have shaped you as a person and have gotten you to where you are today. That way you can intentionally decide how you want to move forward and gain tools to make the changes that help improve your wellbeing and get you to thriving.

Life can feel really heavy sometimes—especially when you’re trying to hold it all together.
Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or just off lately. Maybe you’re questioning your path, navigating a life transition, or feeling unsure about your relationships or career. Even if things look okay on the outside, you might be carrying a lot on the inside—uncertainty, pressure, self-doubt, or a constant sense that you’re not where you’re “supposed” to be. You don’t have to carry that alone.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. 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 comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
