I also have worked extensively with Hispanic people, and I speak Spanish.
Each child deserves a positive, comforting, and fun environment to explore and process their experiences. I care deeply about the children I work with and I believe that every child is unique and will experience the world in their own way. In therapy sessions, I use TF-CBT, Sand-tray, art, and play in my therapy sessions.

Whether you are a therapy veteran or have never sought mental health services before, I hope to support you as you navigate the collision of your internal experience with real-life challenges. For clients that don't even know where to begin with issues in the family, parents that are struggling with their child's transitions, and couples seeking clarity on "communication," I imagine that obtaining help can feel like an uphill battle.

Hi, I’m Pam. Originally from Brazil, I’ve called this place home for 20 years. Life has a way of preparing us in unexpected ways, and I believe my personal and professional experiences have shaped me into the therapist I am today. One of my favorite quotes is, “We can’t read the label from inside the bottle.” It reminds me that sometimes we need a fresh perspective to uncover our own strength and potential. Therapy can provide that space—a safe, compassionate environment to explore, heal, and grow.

I use state of the art tools to measure whether we are working well together. This approach allows us to take an evidence-based perspective to treatment, in which we see if what we are doing together is working for you.

I approach therapy primarily from a relational-cultural perspective, which acknowledges healthy relationships as key to emotional and psychological functioning. My clients often seek therapy for help with loneliness/emotional disconnection from others, relationship/dating anxiety, or relational distress because of personal identity changes. I strive to help my clients gain insight into the dynamics in their life that contribute to feelings of fear and sadness. I also help clients move away from avoidant ways of dealing with stress in their lives and toward strategies that increase self-esteem and provide their lives with meaning.

I am accepting new clients! Whether it be issues that arise in a marriage, the fallout from a divorce, or the ongoing role trauma plays in relationships, it can be very difficult to heal from these kinds of circumstances and the inevitable effect people leave on us, good and bad. Many times, we go through these struggles alone and may not even realize that we have yet to begin our journey to healing. As a therapist, I understand the importance and value in having a safe place and person to disclose, discuss, and process our life stressors and experiences with.

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.
