Hello, I am open and taking new clients! As a person of Hispanic descent and being a 1st generation Mexican-American, I grew up with a stigmatized view of mental health issues and therapy. I heard my family talk a lot about working hard and pushing past traumatic experiences. Most of the time, “pushing past these experiences” meant simply dismissing them— ignoring them. But I began noticing the emotional toll that dismissing difficult experiences had taken in the lives of my family members. I realized that this idea of “working hard” and pushing past traumatic experiences simply doesn’t work to provide growth or healing.

What would it be like to listen to what your body is asking for right now? Including the body within the psychotherapy process is a necessity because our body carries the memories of our personal life experiences. This somatic approach allows for a more holistic and integrated healing process, as it addresses the physical aspects of our mental and emotional struggles. By paying attention to bodily sensations, movements, and reactions during therapy, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns.

To say that change is difficult is an understatement. Sudden changes in life can leave us reeling with losses, or struggling to cope. It can feel painful to approach change due to barriers such as shame, guilt, resentment, and fear. In the counseling relationship, I strive to create an environment of compassion and trust, in which clients can work through these difficult emotions while knowing they are supported and heard. My role is to walk alongside the client, centering their unique journey, while helping empower them to achieve their goals.
