My ideal client is a bilingual or Spanish-speaking youth or young adult (4-30 yrs old) from the Latinx community navigating trauma, cultural displacement, or systemic barriers. They may face anxiety, depression, or school and family challenges. They need a safe, culturally affirming space to feel heard and supported while learning to manage emotions and access resources. Their goals often include healing, building confidence, and improving communication. They seek therapy to break cycles, feel empowered, and thrive despite systems that haven’t always served them equitably.
I’m a bilingual, trauma-informed therapist specializing in support for Latinx individuals and families. I offer a safe, culturally responsive space to process trauma, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships—honoring each client’s language, culture, and lived experience.
You're not alone, and healing is possible. Whether you're facing stress, trauma, or feeling stuck between cultures, you deserve support that understands your journey. I'm here to walk alongside you with care and respect. When you're ready, I invite you to take that first step toward feeling seen, heard, and empowered.
