Is fear sucking the fulfillment from your life? Maybe you’re missing out on things you wish you could do. Do you often feel revved up? Or maybe you feel you relate to Bob from “What About Bob?” a little too closely – cold sweats, hot sweats…blurred vision, involuntary trembling, dead hands, numb lips. We laugh, but the reality is, it’s not fun. Eventually some may crash. You’re tired. It’s exhausting to maintain this state. After prolonged periods, some may slip into a low. Things don’t seem as colorful as they used to. Everything seems a little dull. Literally and figuratively. In either case, you want to feel better.

I'm from Puerto Rico where I became and developed as a professional counselor specializing in mental health and wellness. Then I made the difficult decision to immigrate to the USA to serve to Latinx community; especially the Spanish speakers that, like me, left their countries looking for a better life for themselves and their families. As a Latina therapist, I know how hard it is to grow up in a culture that we love and respect but have aspects that could hurt us as individuals. I know how difficult it is to overcome the social and cultural challenges and make decisions to heal and live the life that we deserve.

Are you looking for a way to improve your overall well-being? I provide a safe and neutral counseling space for individuals, couples and families to work towards an overall improvement within their relationships, everyday life and mindset. One's choice to begin counseling is a positive decision towards self-care, improved relationships and a proactive way to handle life's hardships. Counseling provides an opportunity to learn ways to gain control over one's life, whether that be through trauma healing, relationship repair or one's own self awareness. I believe that the power of empathy within counseling can be life changing.

As a neurodivergent therapist, my passion lies in creating a safe and understanding space for neurodivergent clients. I believe that each person's journey is unique and deserves to be honored with empathy and respect. My approach is deeply rooted in the understanding that neurodiversity is not a disorder but a different way of experiencing and navigating the world. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration, where my clients feel heard and validated. I recognize the challenges that neurodivergent individuals may face in a society that often prioritizes conformity and aim to empower my clients.

Attending California Institute of Integral Studies shaped my holistic approach to therapy: body, heart, mind and spirit. I use a systems approach when working with clients to see and understand how all areas of one’s life might be impacting them today. I have worked with hundreds of men and women over the last 20 years as a successful corporate leader in Human Resources and Organizational Development. In this “first career” I worked to create powerful change for teams in both their personal and professional lives.

Hi! I offer a casual, open approach to therapy that includes humor, swearing, art, mental exercises, tears, and hope for the future. My approach is based on working to learn more about why we are the way we are to then show understanding and compassion. As we explore with curiosity we discover the reasons behind what makes us the way we are and gives us a sense of compassion, empathy, and validation towards the parts of ourselves we like the least. I believe that nothing is TMI (too much information) and work to develop a strong supportive relationship to learn about and celebrate my clients.
