As Latino therapist I can offer invaluable support to you by combining cultural understanding with effective therapeutic techniques.
As a male therapist, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges that men face, including societal expectations, family responsibilities, and the pressure to be a pillar of strength. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without the burden of societal stereotypes. It’s common for men to feel hesitant about opening up or seeking support, but I believe that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. In our sessions, I encourage open dialogue where you can express yourself authentically.

Understanding the importance of family, community, and cultural identity in Latino communities is a pillar of my work.
If you are struggling with your emotional pain or feel like you can’t control your fearful, anxious thoughts — there is hope. Pain has a way of forcing us to confront our vulnerabilities and limitations. You may be dealing with doubt, anger, fear or confusion. Perhaps you can’t stop focusing on your weaknesses instead of your strengths. You are stuck doubting or criticizing yourself. Or maybe you belittle your emotions or experiences.

My goal is to help you process emotions, heal from past experiences, and strengthen your sense of empowerment and self-worth. Together, we'll address anxiety, depression, PTSD, and interpersonal challenges.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, self-compassion/negative self talk challenges, and cultural identity issues within the Latinx community.
Do you ever catch yourself saying things like "I shouldn't feel this way" or "I can't do this" when you're dealing with emotions? Maybe saying things like "Ugh, why am I like this?" or you're always putting everyone else first, even when it drains you? You're stuck in that endless loop of overthinking, stressing about the future, and losing sleep over it. If any of that hits home, you're definitely not alone. I'm all about helping people break out of those thought patterns that just don't serve us.

Being a Hispanic woman, I recognize the importance of cultural diversity and individual life experiences, which is why I prioritize meeting you where you are.
I am dedicated to creating a space that is both safe and inclusive, particularly for members of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, or anyone who has felt "othered" by society. Your unique lived experiences will not only be respected but also celebrated.

My Hispanic background has also let me work with Spanish-only speaking clients.
I provide a warm and welcoming space so individuals feel safe, comfortable and supported while navigating vulnerable thoughts and emotions during our sessions. Together, we can work through feelings of loneliness, relationship dynamics, overcoming difficult life experiences or trauma, establishing a sense of self, and every day stressors.

Trauma, women's issues, anxiety , Latinx culture and mental health .
Navigating the mental health world and finding a good therapist can be challenging, especially when you are trying to find someone that gets you and acknowledges your culture and background. I commend you for taking the first step in your healing journey. Do some of these sound familiar? You recognize the importance of healing generational trauma; you want to enjoy the present-moment however, your mind gets stuck in the past or the future; you want to create meaningful connections, but you end up sabotaging your relationships; you want to embrace your culture and traditions while recognizing unhealthy generational patterns .

While integrating strength-based and a person-centered approach, I offer a safe and comforting space to the LatinX community by helping first-generation young adults find their purpose in life and helping individuals heal past wounds and break through emotional barriers to become empowered and confident.
Adulthood comes with many pressures and expectations all while adding the difficulty of navigating cultural stressors and first-generational hardships. Sometimes we feel like we must have our lives figured out whether it is looking for a job, deciding what career to pursue, complex relationships, self-doubt, or uncertainty. These pressures and expectations for our lives can be overwhelming and sometimes we would like to talk about these feelings with someone. Lack of motivation, procrastination, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and stress can prevent us from becoming the person who we aspire to be.

I’m a bilingual latinx therapist.
Struggling to show up in a world that tells you “you’re too much” and to "stop being so sensitive"? Having thoughts that no one will ever get you because you’re constantly told to “just get over it”? If you don't fit in the mold for attempting to speak your truth, this creates debilitating stress and anxiety. The need to feel safe, seen, and heard IS REAL. You want to show up real AF, comfortable in your own skin, surrounded by people who emotionally support and value YOU. But how do you stand up to all of this toxic energy when you’re feeling so damn drained and exhausted by all the drama?

As a Queer Hispanic Female, I have a passion as a therapist to support fellow LGBTQIA+ clients with things unique to our experience and lives such as coming out, working through relationships with straight friends and family, developing meaningful, healthy sexual connections with our partners, and general healing with compassion.
I’m kink-aware and believe in an approach emphasizing sexual freedom of thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and activities is the most beneficial for everyone. My approach to counseling is collaborative, and establishing a therapeutic relationship rooted in authenticity and integrity is critical for creating a safe space.

I believe that meaningful conversation can help us untangle our thoughts, leading to clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Whether you're dealing with tough emotions, going through life changes, or pursuing personal growth, my aim is to offer an empathetic and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your journey ahead.

Specifically Hispanic males who struggle with depression, grief, trauma & imposter syndrome.
Given mental health stigma, empathy is key to building a therapeutic relationship. Thats why I use a Solution-Focused approach, this approach allows us to discover what your desired outcome is in treatment. From there we can explore the pathways to achieve that change. The path forward isn't linear, even so together we can explore the best way forward.

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.
