People who work best with me are those who feel caught in between what the world tells them they should be and what they want for themselves. You’ve been thinking about how to take that next step to break free, but you’re still hoping for clarity, and likely a sense of certainty of what you’ll encounter. You have a hunch that pushing through despite not knowing what’s ahead is the way to go, and a little more than a nudge would go a long way.

I believe that asking for help, and taking the first step with a new therapist is often the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I feel that there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. We are all very different, we have varying life experiences and most of all we do not all process or feel things in the same way. I will help you identify your goals and objectives, and we will work towards them together. Life can become overwhelming at times and I will help you unload what can often feel like a huge the pile of dishes in the sink, but one plate at a time.

I value authenticity, collaboration, and emotional honesty, and meet clients where they are without pressure or labels.

We cannot control the challenges that we face, but we can control how we process our pain and tap into our own resilience. Seeking psychotherapy can be the first step towards achieving purpose and a better quality of life. I work with individuals, teens, families and couples to identify areas of improvement, foster change, cope with symptoms, and achieve goals. A history of trauma (emotional, physical, sexual, abandonment, domestic violence) or medical difficulties such as chronic/terminal illness or pain can complicate treatment needs and clients can respond differently to psychotherapy when these elements are present.

My ideal client navigates life with a neurodivergent mind (ADHD/Autism), often battling anxiety or trauma from trying to fit a mold that wasn't built for them. They struggle with executive dysfunction, sensory overload, and the exhaustion of 'masking' their true selves.
They need more than support; they need a neuro-affirming strategist. Their goal is not to 'fix' their brain, but to master it. They want practical tools (CBT/REBT) to handle emotional regulation and focus. Ultimately, they seek to move from surviving chaos to living authentically, finding a space where they are fully understood.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. 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 experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
