I provide a safe space for Gen Z and Millennial Latinx folx to explore various aspects of themselves, their identity, and their culture.
Are you ready to be more vulnerable but aren’t sure where to start? Have you found yourself struggling to share honestly with those around you? Or maybe you’ve tried sharing more of yourself with others, but you aren’t sure where you belong or if others will accept you? Our families can have a big impact on how we show up in our adult relationships. Cultural messages often impact how safe we feel to be fully ourselves. Shame and guilt can hold us back from experiencing intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. Together we will help you heal from any past wounds so you can feel more aligned in the present.

You're really going through it. You've been stuck in a vicious loop of anxiety, low self esteem, stress, bad relationships, & trauma and PTSD. You can't sleep because your mind is on overdrive, yet your body is exhausted from holding awful tension. You've been unhappy and overwhelmed for too long.

Codependency feels right when things are good yet devastating when things are bad. Honestly, your power has been taken from you. I know it seems like things will never get better, but I got you.

Whether you're figuring out who you are, coming out to others, or looking for a place where you can explore other areas of your life, I can help. I can help if you're looking to explore sex, love, and relationships, if you're looking to heal old traumas, or you're managing an addiction. As an LGBTQ+ therapist who is a part of the community, I understand the need to have an affirming place to explore issues. I know everyone has their own journey figuring out their authentic sexual orientation and gender, but I also know that it can impact several areas of your life.

Many, if not all, of us experience periods of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and burdened by life's demands, responsibilities, and even positive events like beginning a new job or getting married. You don't have to go through hard times alone, and while I always encourage people to reach out to friends and family for support, sometimes their advice and cheerleading is not enough. Therapy can help you through these hard times. Successful therapy allows you to live a more fulfilling life, accomplish your goals, and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other conditions.

Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you wish there were more hours in the day so you could get everything done? Do you live and breathe work and at night you can’t sleep because you are thinking about all the things you still need to do? Nowadays, people face unique challenges that can sometimes be overwhelming. Juggling school, a career, a family, and other responsibilities can leave little time for self-care, leading to feelings of anxiety, stress, and burnout. You may also notice that your relationships are being negatively impacted by these pressures leading to more worry and stress.

I work with adult individuals who struggle with heightened emotional responses, relationship issues, and trauma. I also work with individuals who identify as Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and are in recovery from emotional abuse. You may feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster or find it difficult to cope with what you feel others see as “normal” life struggles. You may also find it difficult to set boundaries, feel anxious/overwhelmed with certain relationships and struggle with guilt, shame and invalidation. If this sounds like you, we may be a good fit.

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.
