Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Santa Fe, NM
My therapeutic approach is intuitive, empathic, direct and relational, using humor and humility to connect.
In my work as a LCSW, I draw on my training in family therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR. Additionally, while working at Solace Sexual Assault Services, I received specialized training in the treatment of complex trauma, sexual assault, sexual abuse, depression and anxiety. I take a systems and liberation psychology approach acknowledging culture, society, history, and oppression have an impact on mental health.

I am deeply committed to helping couples and individuals understand the pitfalls to open and honest communication in their relationships. My clients are typically evolving in a psychospiritual and holistic realm -- and yet are facing challenges in their everday relationships. As a result,
they are equally committed to cultivating an awareness of their thoughts, feelings and habits. My clients often find the "tools" and build new "brain cells" for both present and future change. I always emphasize the folowing equation: KNOWLEDGE ("tools" and new "brain cells") + EXPERIENCE = CHANGE!

You have become a mom, your child is not older than 3 or 5 years old, and you feel lost, sad, alone, rageful, misunderstood or even feel you don't know who you are anymore. Nobody told you that motherhood could be so overwhelming. However, you are certain that you don't want to hurt your child in the same ways you were hurt as a kid. All you want is to become the mother you anticipated to be for your child, but how?

I work with individuals and couples facing crises, complex relationship dynamics, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented and growth-focused, helping clients regain clarity, agency, and a stronger sense of self. I specialize in working with people who feel stuck in recurring patterns, identity confusion, or emotional reactivity and are seeking meaningful, lasting change rather than surface-level coping.

My role as a therapist is that of a fellow-human that joins you on this chapter of your journey. Think of us together on a walk. On our walk, we encounter the natural elements that both slow us down with fatigue and overwhelm, and also motivate us with inspiration and delight. What makes this journey bearable, do-able, and sometimes even fun is that we are together. You are not alone. The safety I intend to cultivate for you provides the atmosphere for inquiry, exploration, curiosity, and growth.

I recognize the importance of culturally competent care and the impact of systemic inequalities in mental health. I provide a culturally responsive approach to therapy, addressing issues such as identity, discrimination, intergenerational trauma, and acculturation.

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.
