Hi, Hola, I am a LatinX therapist who has an extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced traumatic injuries. By providing clinical expertise, training, education and evidence base practices such as TFCBT, CBT and seeking safety. I learned that you don’t have to heal on your own. The power of a therapeutic alliance can provide you that safe space, a voice, guidance and beak cycles. That will allow you to grow and transform your life.

Despite our best efforts, sometimes it just doesn’t seem like life goes quite the way we planned. Family/relationship conflicts, worry about a child’s choices/behaviors, feelings of overwhelm/anxiety, grief/loss or a major life transition are often a part of our lives. And, unfortunately, sometimes these events are compounded by a lack of support or critic voices. Although it may not feel like it, I truly believe we are all doing the best we can in any given moment with the tools & information we have at that time and am passionate about supporting you in discovering your strengths and new strategies to create the changes you seek.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, change, and grow. Sometimes life brings us more than we can manage, and seeking help to navigate through these difficult times is often a key component for the healing process. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families, using a holistic approach to embrace healing, growth and positive change. By providing a supportive and compassionate environment, I encourage a space where one can freely explore their feelings and challenge themselves using a client-centered and mindfulness-based approach.

I believe that every day up until now has helped you to be the person you are today, and find it helpful to explore your family of origin dynamics to help in giving you some insights about your current functioning and relationships with others. While exploring the past, however, I find that my patients are coming in for symptom reduction, and not just insight. Which is why I am also very solution-focused. Through the combination of the two, my clients typically see a decrease in current symptoms, yet gain insight into preventing them in the future.

We all need others to help lift us up and support us during the rough times. Sometimes it is too much to ask our loved ones to be there for us. I'm here to help brainstorm with you to find solutions and come from a nonjudgmental point of view.
