Everything looks fine on the outside. You’re showing up, holding it together, getting things done. But underneath? Underneath, The mental load is heavy. The overthinking doesn’t stop. The pressure to keep it all together... for yourself, your kids, your family... feels constant. Maybe you’re a high-achieving woman who can’t seem to quiet her mind. A mom feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. Or a child/teen who’s struggling with anxiety, big emotions, or confidence, and you’re not sure how to "just deal" with it anymore. From the outside, it looks like life is working. But inside, it feels exhausting.

Congratulations on talking the first steps toward recovery. Talking to a stranger about your challenges may seem awkward, but with the right therapist it becomes easier. Our work together will be unique since no one approach is best. Whatever the problem may be, taking this first crucial step is how to start on the changes you want to achieve. I have personally traveled down this path before and have done my own personal work and transformation. This is why I respectfully feel I am in a position to guide you. I am licensed to work in IL, N.C. and S.C. via telehealth and accept most insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid.

Have you been holding yourself back? Are you living through the lens of the past that is getting in the way of your present? Do you find yourself engaging in old patterns that are getting in the way of your relationships, expectations, and goals you have for yourself? Sometimes when you outgrow your old patterns of behavior you find yourself wandering around not knowing exactly where you fit or how to transition into the new version of yourself. Before you start cramming yourself back into the old box you just broke out of, it might be time to start embodying the new you!

Feeling more like roommates than partners? I get it. That deep, easy connection you once had feels out of reach, replaced by misunderstandings, quiet tension, or arguments that just go in circles. Life’s pressures—work stress, past hurts, family demands, or the weight of cultural expectations—can slowly pull even the strongest teams apart. It’s lonely, and trying to fix it on your own is exhausting. It doesn’t have to stay this way.

Imagine being able to talk to someone about anything without judgement or being told what to do. Visualize that person being a neutral sounding board where you can untangle your thoughts and feelings through difficult and stressful times. Having professional therapeutic support when dealing with anxiety and depression can make such a difference from feeling hopeless and defeated. Working with a professional such as myself can be a rewarding and empowering experience.

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.
