About My Clients

Taking the first step to ask for help can be difficult. Do you struggle to find the motivation to get out of bed, complete your schoolwork, or even go to work? Have you stopped enjoying activities you used to love? Have you experienced or witnessed a traumatic event? If any of this sounds familiar, let's work together to improve your coping skills and begin the healing process.

My Background and Approach

The strategies I’ll share with you are based on years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma. My primary goal is to provide effective techniques that you can apply in any situation. We’ll begin by focusing on the present moment—learning how to regain control over your body and thoughts when you feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or other stressors, we’ll explore what happens in your brain when these responses are activated and how to engage different parts of your mind to find relief. You’ll also discover how these stressors affect your body and how to calm yourself when those physical responses arise. Through this work, you’ll build resilience, empowering you to move forward with strength and confidence.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Latina therapist, I am deeply committed to helping individuals, especially children, adolescents, and young adults, heal from trauma. I believe in the possibility of a world free from violence—where sexual assault and domestic violence are no longer part of anyone’s story. My cultural heritage and personal experiences have shaped my understanding of the profound impact that trauma can have, and I am passionate about guiding my clients toward healing and resilience. With the right support and therapeutic tools, we can break the cycle of violence and create safer, more compassionate communities. My work is grounded in the conviction that everyone deserves to live in a world where their safety and dignity are respected and where healing from past traumas leads to a brighter, more empowered future.
