About My Clients
I work best with adults who look like they are holding it together, but privately feel quietly overwhelmed. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware. They may have read the books, listened to the podcasts, been in therapy, or spent years trying to understand themselves. Still, the same patterns keep showing up in their relationships, boundaries, anxiety, or family dynamics. You might know why you react the way you do, but still struggle to respond differently in the moment.
My Background and Approach
My work is trauma-informed, relational meaning the relationship between therapist and client is important for your progress and growth, and grounded in nervous-system healing. In my practice, I often work with individuals who already have a high level of self-awareness, or would call themselves high-functioners, achievers, or empaths. They often feel frustrated that despite all their best efforts they keep repeating old patterns. We focus on integrating practices into your daily life to get you moving toward unstuckness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a place where you do not have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or prove that your pain is valid. Many of the people I work with learned early in life to be responsible, strong, or independent, and it can feel unfamiliar to slow down and focus on their own needs. I value emotional honesty, cultural awareness, and understanding the context people come from. As a Latina therapist, I bring lived awareness of family expectations, identity, and the pressure to be strong while still wanting to feel understood. I believe change happens when people feel safe enough to be real, and ready to challenge patterns that no longer work, even if those patterns once helped them survive.
