About My Clients

Do you constantly stress about meeting your own and/or others' expectations? My clients often discuss their anxiety stemming from relationships, self-blame for mishaps, coping with life changes and job satisfaction. They desire therapy to manage their insecurity and general anxiety affecting their happiness and relationships. They feel lost and overwhelmed, longing to regain their sense of empowerment and productivity.

My Background and Approach

My practice focuses on helping clients navigate through anxiety and depression related to relationships, job insecurity, cultural adjustment and spirituality. My approach integrates body-mind-spirit, and cultural/social awareness. I use evidence-based tools, including mindfulness techniques, with talk therapy to explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. By identifying together internal/external messages that help or hold you back, we'll explore ways for you to cope with those problems, feel empowered, and find peace and contentment in the present. I am fluent in both written and spoken English and Spanish (native language), clients can communicate in either language during our meetings as fits best for them. You can expect a conversational, judgment-free and direct therapy style where you can be yourself. Navigating life is a complex and deeply personal experience, that's why I am dedicated to supporting you on your healing journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Moving to the U.S. two decades ago and having experienced multiple cultural adjustment challenges, I have developed a deep empathy for clients who are currently facing acculturation struggles. My passion lies in helping individuals expand their self-awareness and explore their identity in a new country. I have additional academic and work background in the performing arts, and find affinity in supporting clients who are navigating the uncertainties and stress inherent in their creative careers. Above all, I am genuinely interested in hearing people's unique life stories, struggles, and perspectives, as I believe that every individual possesses immense wisdom to share. My goal is to provide support throughout your process of healing and reconnecting with your most authentic self!
