Accepting Clients

Hello and Welcome! Seeking a Latina, trauma-informed, Gottman Method trained clinician for you or your relationship?

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Santa Monica, CA
Supervised by Alexis Jarrell, LMFT

About My Clients

Because of my own personal background, I have found a passion in supporting Latinx individuals and couples in navigating their cultural identities and the cultural and societal pressures they may face as well. I also have found a passion in supporting teens, adults, and couples through anxiety/depression, grief and loss, relationship conflict, life transitions, and trauma. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey, and I look forward to connecting.

My Background and Approach

As a person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic space for clients to show up as they are. I truly believe that a lot of the change that happens in my clients' lives begins with the strength of our therapeutic relationship. And by using an integrative strengths-based approach of CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused, I support my clients in gaining new coping skills and creating the necessary changes in their lives to thrive. I also have received my Gottman Level 1 Certification to help couples learn conflict managements skills while also increasing their admiration and friendship with one another.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a first generation, Latinx therapist, I understand all too well from both a professional and personal experience of how mental health is still stigmatized within our culture. For that reason, I understand as well how daunting it can be to seek a therapist. But I chose this field after finding a passion in helping my clients thrive in their lives and live a fulfilling life in alignment with their own values. I am also deeply invested in destigmatizing mental health across cultures and providing a safe space for all clients who decide to work with me.
