If you feel like you have to be the strong one for everyone else but inside you’re overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a space where you actually don’t have to hold it all together. I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Latina therapist who specializes in supporting BIPOC and first-generation individuals, including those healing from sexual trauma, PTSD, family or cultural pressures, anxiety, and relationship issues. My approach is collaborative, culturally aware, and grounded in helping you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to create a safe space for your healing.
I support teens and adults healing from trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Using EMDR and trauma-focused CBT, I take a holistic approach to help you process experiences, reconnect with yourself, and build healthier patterns.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been holding everything in for a long time. It can feel scary to finally open up, but you deserve that space. Está bien ir poco a poco. I’ll meet you where you are with compassion, care, and a space where you can begin to feel safe again.

I enjoy utilizing a holistic and eclectic approach in therapy. Because the mind, body, and spirit are connected, it is important that each of the holistic parts are addressed and recognized in therapy. Using an eclectic approach caters to each client's individual needs. Therapy modalities that I integrate and utilize are EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and Play Therapy!
