I hope to build a therapeutic team with you, grounded in safety and trust. I specialize in supporting clients navigating the effects of unresolved trauma, including adverse childhood experiences, complex PTSD, intergenerational trauma, and intimate partner violence. Using EMDR, IFS, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, I help clients heal at the root. I also work with anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, life transitions, and ADHD. As a native Spanish speaker, I offer therapy in English and Spanish and deeply understand the cultural and generational dynamics within the Latino communities.
I help clients connect past and present by exploring their internal system—the many parts within them. As these parts feel understood, EMDR becomes a powerful tool for healing. Ketamine-assisted therapy adds leverage for deep integration. You are the expert in your life, and I’m here to learn from you.
Healing can feel overwhelming, especially when the past still echoes in the present. I offer a grounded, compassionate space to explore your inner world, understand your parts, and gently move toward lasting change. If you're curious about this kind of work, I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey.

It is important for you to contact your insurance company prior to starting therapy. You will want to identify if you have a co-pay plan or a "deductible" plan. If you are on a deductible plan, you pay for the session cost upfront until your deductible is met. I offer superbills too.
