About My Clients

You’ve been carrying the weight of responsibility on your shoulders for a long time, but right now it feels like it’s too much to bear. This stress is compounded by having to balance work or motherhood as well, and at the end of the day you feel burnt out, yet unable to fully relax. Maybe you’re also going through a breakup, infidelity in your relationship, or are unsure whether to stay with your partner, and are now questioning your worth.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy involves more than just talking about feelings—I use somatic (AKA body-based) methods like Brainspotting and EMDR, which allow for deeper, long-lasting healing and change. I am also trained in more traditional talk therapy methods like CBT, Attachment Theory, and Parts Work. You and I will work together to determine which methods will most benefit you, and I can tailor my approach to your specific needs by combining any of these techniques, along with somatic elements, so you can truly start feeling better.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Latina, I understand the stigma many cultures have around therapy. But I’m here to tell you that keeping your feelings a secret doesn’t make you stronger—it makes you lonely. We’ve all had experiences and relationships that have changed us, we all find different ways to cope with our feelings, and we all deserve to be listened to without judgment. I am committed to creating a secure space for my clients and supporting them along the journey of reconnecting with themselves. Whatever challenges you’re currently facing, I want to empower you to connect to your strengths, communicate your needs, and act in the best interests of yourself and your relationships. Through the work we’ll do together, you’ll gain clarity and be able to decide how you want your future to look.
