Many of the people I work with are carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, identity questions, and relational wounds, often shaped by generational trauma and systemic barriers tied to their marginalized identities. They're looking for a space to reconnect with their values, and begin making sense of what’s getting in the way of moving through the world as their whole self. Whether you're exploring cultural identity, healing from trauma, or moving through life transitions, you deserve support that recognizes your full story and the systems that have shaped it.

I encourage clients to look beyond immediate challenges to explore the patterns and beliefs that shape their lives. Rather than quick fixes, I invite a process of authentic self-discovery, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. I believe meaningful growth happens within a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, and vulnerability. Together, we create a space where deeper understanding and genuine transformation can unfold. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and welcome clients in either language.

At times in our lives, sex and intimacy may not be a top priority. You might have a hard time expressing your desires, or knowing what those desires are in the first place! Does that resonate with you? If you’re in a relationship rut or you’ve simply never learned that sex is for YOUR pleasure, you might be feeling disconnected from your body. The root of these challenges is that sex is a skill, and society doesn’t teach us to hone in on our sexy, sensual side for our own benefit. When we struggle with sex or intimacy, we tend to go on struggling until it becomes overwhelming and we can’t avoid it any longer. Now, it’s time to grow.

You may be feeling anxious, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, boundaries, or past experiences that continue to affect you today. You want peace, confidence, and healing, but you’re unsure where to begin. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel seen and understood, and support you as you rediscover your voice, strength, and purpose.

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.
