I am a Latinx New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in helping families navigate the emotional weight of infertility, IVF, postpartum struggles, and traumatic birth experiences.
The emotional toll of infertility, IVF, or a traumatic birth can be overwhelming. The endless cycles of hope and heartbreak, the stress of medical appointments, feeling disconnected from your body, and the loneliness of watching others have what you long for—it’s exhausting. Postpartum struggles, anxiety, guilt, or feeling like you "should be happy" but aren’t, only add to the weight. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Imagine feeling at peace in your body, rebuilding trust in yourself, releasing the grief, and stepping into a life where joy, connection, and healing are possible. You deserve that.

My life's work honors my roots as a 1st generation Latina and I am especially committed to serving the Latinx community.
The wisdom of our bodies and the importance of listening to the heart are central to my approach. I move beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating somatic psychotherapy and heart-centered attunement, helping you explore the subtle energies and sensations that arise within your body. Together, we navigate these inner experiences to foster deep emotional healing and soul alignment. This work is vital because our bodies hold deep emotional experiences that words alone cannot always access. By tuning into the body’s wisdom, we can release trauma, alleviate stress, and foster profound healing.

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.
