¡SÍ se puede! As a child of immigrants, I grappled with dilemmas of self-identity amidst the pressures of acculturation and assimilation. I embrace cultural diversity. Nonetheless, as a Latina I continue to fight against societal and cultural norms. How do you merge conflicting expectations and be at peace? My personal success with these issues, along with formal education and subsequent training have made me a strong bicultural therapist. Thus, I truly believe that memories and emotions are best processed in the language you experience them in because they are inextricably linked and are part of our identity.

I believe my greatest strength is helping people find the missing keys needed to make positive change.

Do your options seem limited? Do you need help to sort things out, make sense of your emotions, or see the situation differently? We may be overwhelmed, feel inadequate or out of control. We may believe that the future is bleak or hopeless. We may be upset with others, afraid of loss, or change. We each have more ability and control over our lives than we know. We can learn to soothe ourselves, remain calm and clear-headed when we face challenges. We can solve problems and effectively negotiate our relationships, but we all need help at one time or another.

There is nothing more valuable in this world than living the life you were destined to live and nothing more fearful than the passage of time and losing time.
