You're the first-born daughter. The responsible one. The strong one. The one everyone turns to—but who do you turn to?
You're successful on paper, but emotionally overwhelmed. You replay conversations, struggle with boundaries, and feel burned out from trying to meet everyone’s expectations. Maybe you're noticing that your relationships—romantic, familial, even professional—keep hitting the same frustrating wall. And no matter how much you journal, read, or self-reflect, the cycle doesn’t break.
That’s where I come in.

I recognize that life can be incredibly hard. Many people move through the world carrying overwhelm, anxiety, depression or a deep sense of instability. Others are navigating identity questions, LGBTQ challenges or the fear and complexity of a transition. So much is outside our control, yet there is still so much within us that can be explored and understood. In therapy, we slow down, look inward and make sense of your mind, your body and the story that brought you here, creating space for clarity and change.

My approach to therapy is holistic as my interest goes far beyond psychological issues. I want to understand, for example, the roles of the mind, the body, and the environment in causation of client’s problems. I look at all aspects of their lives in order to bring about permanent resolutions to their problems.

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.
