I am native Spanish-speaking, and I have experience in working with culturally specific issues related to the Latinx experience and Intergenerational Trauma experienced by first-generation individuals.
I invite you to explore from a place of curiosity, exploration, safety, and compassion. I work primarily with adults who grew up in traumatized households and, as adults, are nourishing their childhood selves. My approach is collaborative, relational, and holistic. I integrate Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, IFS, Yoga, Somatic techniques, and Brainspotting for Mind/ Body/Spirit integration. I am experienced with the Psychospiritual and non-ordinary states of consciousness and can support you with Spiritual emergence. This is a stigma-free zone for people with alternate forms of Spiritual practice.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who have struggled to overcome marital issues, family conflict, depression, anxiety, anger issues, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Most teen clients have difficulty socializing and fitting in with others in school. Many adult clients have trouble connecting with their family and feel inadequate during gatherings. Most children I see are unable to manage their anger, concentrate, or communicate with others in a respectful way. The couples I see have breakdowns in their communication, need help finding ways to resolve their differences and want to reignite their connection.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
