My father always said “aging comes with serious side effects”. While he meant it as a joke, his words were poetic and true. Whether we are navigating our own experience with aging, or caring for others, issues related to this experience can dominate our lives, and cause significant distress.I come to this work, enriched with life experiences that have given me perspective, compassion, and empathy.

I like to be real with people. I find the best way to work with individuals and couples is to be present, ask the right questions, and give honest feedback. Whether you are coming to therapy for personal growth, a relationship or family issue, healing from loss, past trauma, or anything else, I want to explore who you are, how your life experiences have affected you and your relationships, ways in which those experiences keep replaying themselves, and how to get you out of the cycle. My approach is to provide a comfortable and real space to talk, explore and work on feeling better.

Hi, I am Dr. Hernandez. I am a bilingual English-Spanish speaking therapist. Psychotherapy "talk therapy" to me is an evolving, supportive, and yes, at times challenging conversation(s) that can lead to personal growth and help you through life's stressors. I have experience working with individuals with symptoms of depression, trauma, anxiety, feelings of anger, and loss.

Hello and welcome to learning a little bit about what I do. I help individuals who are generally in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s and who often struggle with anxiety, excessive worry, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty managing stress related to work, family, and relationships. Using Jungian Psychology and Somatic Experiencing, I guide them toward self-awareness, deeper understanding, and lasting change. Together, we address their stressors and help them develop the tools to manage their emotions and find balance.

I believe therapy can benefit everyone who sincerely wishes to see a change in their life. Appropriate therapy can relieve feelings of distress, increase satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, create skills for managing anxiety, and help grow greater personal awareness and insight. Difficult changes have no specific design, but with help, you can learn from them, grow with them, and be better because of them.

I am a systemic thinker and a truly integrative therapist. I utilize the rich foundations of attachment theories, my psychodynamic training, and existential thought to conceptualize the various structures of the human experience. We live in a complicated world that often feels at odds with our capacity and longing for well-being and wholeness. Each person experiences this world from a specific intersection of identities and therefore it is so important to me to filter my understanding of clients through a systemic and culturally attuned lens.
