I'm trained in providing evidence-based treatment to individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD and trauma.
I'm Jenny a Latinx from Peru. I provide therapy in English or Spanish. My clients describe me as warm, empathetic, intuitive and easy to talk to. My belief is that most people have the answers to their problems within themselves but may lack the awareness and insight to find those answers. I will work with you to discover and reframe your negative narratives to achieve a positive healthy mindset. Therapy is a unique experience and I will work collaboratively with you to tailor the treatment to your individual needs. I use a solution-based approach and believe in providing information to help you take control of your life.

I have been in practice for 16 years and bring you clinical expertise in trauma work, with a specialization in domestic and sexual violence, though these are not the only issues that I work with.
You've just taken the first step towards advancing your own personal growth. It can be difficult to address the painful or uncomfortable matters in our lives, but it is the only way to propel ourselves forward; to make the future stronger than the past. While the past will always play a role in shaping our future, it doesn't define it. Through counseling, we will work together to identify and overcome whatever obstacles may be in your path. With a clear mind and an empowered spirit, you'll be on your way to living a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

I have helped people with anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mood disorders, as well as parenting and relationship issues.
LET'S TALK. Ever since psychotherapy (the talking cure) was conceived over 100 years ago it has grown and evolved. But one thing remains constant: talking with someone about the things that bother you, in a safe and empathic environment is curative. It is the first step to changing the way you think, feel and act. In more than 20 years of practice, I have studied and mastered various techniques of psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral, relational, psychodynamic) and will utilize these in our work together.

My training includes working with issues surrounding depression, anxiety, trauma, impulse control, and various life adjustments.
My primary focus of treatment is trauma recovery, depression, and anxiety. Many people have chronic low self-esteem stemming from early childhood messages received from adults and others in their lives. The coping skills used at that time may have been adaptive, but in the present, they are no longer helpful. If you are depressed, anxious, and feel alone, don't know what to do, or if you suffer from a difficult past, I can help. You're not alone. I engage in strengths-based, solution-focused person-centered work and use a variety of traditional mental health modalities.

I believe people do their best when they feel heard and cared for. That is my goal and overall approach within the therapeutic practice. Therapy, in its many forms and fashions, offers the opportunity for us to discover what lies within. Whether that be unresolved trauma, feelings of emotional instability, or feeling disconnected to who we are. A strong therapeutic alliance can foster a healing environment through providing a safe space to address emotional distress and offer an increase in self-understanding and acceptance.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
