As a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish with Puerto Rican and Panamanian roots, I care about supporting Latino clients and anyone navigating identity, anxiety, and major life transitions.
I approach counseling from a person-centered lens, believing that warmth, authenticity, allow for a collaborative space. I also integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies to help challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills that align with your goals. Sessions with me often involve reflection, shared curiosity, and a few laughs.

If you’re reading this, I congratulate you on your courage and determination to seek help. Authenticity, self-alliance, and curious exploration are the core themes of my therapy. I view well-being holistically from a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens, i.e. your early life upbringing, biology, social relationships, stressful life events, demographics (e.g. culture), conscious and subconscious thought patterns, emotional skills, and society all influence your mental health. In practice, I blend empirically supported treatments with energy / spiritual work and social justice informed by 10 years of training and practice.

Originally from a Hispanic background and fluent in both English and Spanish, I am deeply connected to diverse cultures and experiences.
As a military spouse, I have embraced the flexibility and resilience required by frequent relocations, and I cherish every opportunity to meet people from different walks of life. When I'm not in the therapy room, I enjoy cooking, baking, and indulging in creative self-care through cross-stitch and diamond painting.

I offer telehealth counseling. Therapy can be a scary thought, but it's a space for you to find yourself again and re-experience life. As a therapist, I am aware of the stigma surrounding mental health, and I know taking the first step to come to therapy can be difficult. I strive to create a warm, inclusive, welcoming environment to allow clients to express themselves openly and honestly without judgment. We walk through the world holding many different experiences that make us unique: race, gender, sexual orientation, and more. I work with my clients to grant themselves permission to feel their feelings and walk forward.

My ideal client is an individual, a couple, or a family who has navigated the complexities of life. Often overwhelmed by various experiences—whether personal challenges, work pressures, or the demands of daily living—they seek clarity and direction. They are not afraid to work hard for their well-being. They are open to and appreciate a direct, honest approach.

You’re often the one others rely on—the steady, capable, emotionally attuned person who shows up, holds things together, and puts everyone else first. But when a painful relationship, infertility, pregnancy loss, or another personal grief disrupts that rhythm, it can be disorienting to realize you don’t know how to care for yourself in the same way. I work with women who are used to caring for others but now feel anxious, depleted, or disconnected from their own needs, helping them process loss, rebuild self-trust, and offer themselves the compassion they’ve long given away.

If you’ve been doing your healing work, reading, journaling, maybe exploring yoga, energy work, or other holistic practices, but still feel like something isn’t shifting at a deeper level, you’re not alone. People I work with are self-aware and intentional, but still feel stuck in patterns their body hasn’t fully released. I specialize in trauma work through a body-based lens. This means we focus on your nervous system and how your experiences are held in your body, not just your thoughts. When your system has been in survival mode for a long time, it can hold onto tension, overwhelm, or shutdown, so moving forward can be difficult.

So often, we wear masks for the benefit of those around us while inside, we suffer. I want to normalize that even though you've been through a lot, there's hope that things can improve. If you want a therapist who takes a non-judgmental stand to support you and guide you through your problems, let me help you. I identify with a culturally sensitive approach because vulnerability is difficult for anyone, and having someone who understands you can help.

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.
