I’m a Spanish speaking therapist with 22 years of experience, offering mental health services to Latino/Latinx adults living in Massachusetts and Florida. I believe that before any title or role, we are all vulnerable human beings capable of growth and change. Starting therapy may open old wounds or bring discomfort, but honesty and transparency make the process meaningful. My commitment is to walk beside you until growth and fulfillment arise. And when you no longer need me, we’ll celebrate your success. —-Ofrezco las sesiones de terapia de forma remota. Mis sesiones son en español. Telehealth, remote sessions offered in Spanish.
My help focused on childhood and relational trauma, attachment issues, cultural-family transitions and adjustments, and other distressing factors impacting your relationships, emotions & mental health. As a Wounded Healer archetype, I will help you navigate your struggles, vulnerabilities, past, and life events with an empathetic, judgment-free perspective.
From day one, I'll make sure that you feel welcome, understood, and listened to. I'll feel passionate about supporting you in developing self-awareness, identifying your strengths, and taking ownership of your actions and results. I will always be present as a collaborator, on your side, but with a realistic point of view so that you can feel grounded.

I love transparency during treatment! No masks! As needed, I use portions of my personal story to help clients understand clinical concepts, strategies, interventions, and approaches. I'm a mother, partner, immigrant, and I have life experiences just like you! For me, it's essential to build rapport and a professional, ethical relationship, and to keep in mind that we're all life partners.
