I integrate cultural relational therapy, structural family therapy, attachment therapy, and multicultural feminist therapy (among others) to creatively interrupt the cycles of suffering and misattunement, strengthen self-compassion, and inner-strength and consciousness.
Originally from Chile, I am a bilingual culturally-conscious and trauma-informed therapist helping individuals heal from intergenerational trauma, migratory and cultural issues, family dysfunction, sex and relational issues, and mood disorders. Whether this is your first time or not, if you’re here you’re taking an active step to dedicate time and invest in you and your wellbeing. That is AWESOME. I value the co-creation of a strong relationship that allows reconnection with your emotional self, all the intersections of your existence, and the life experiences that informed your view of self and the world.

Primarily, I implement Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy in working with families, the Gottman Method with couples and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing with individuals.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. When thinking about the stages of change, I prefer to meet clients where they are; and am willing to work at a pace they feel comfortable with at the start of treatment. Individuals come to treatment with a myriad of goals and needs. Specific issues may be difficult to pinpoint. However, one of my goals in the overall process is to see clients who are open to changing their current dynamic or patterns, with the hope of a more favorable outcome.
