About My Clients

My clients come from different cultural backgrounds. They often are individuals who are ready to take the next step in their healing journey, who are motivated, eager to grow, and ready to be challenged. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal issues, and other concerns.

My Background and Approach

Whether this is your first time coming to therapy or starting with a new therapist, it can be intimidating; however, I believe in creating a warm, nurturing, and validating relationship with my client to create a safe space. I work with my clients collaboratively to determine which therapeutic methods work best for them to achieve their goals. I incorporate other modalities such as CBT, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Latina therapist, I am committed to helping break those barriers in mental health to support marginalized communities. Taking care of our mental health can be incredibly challenging; however, I am here to support you in this journey. As your therapist, it's important for my clients to feel heard, validated, and feel empowered. Therapy allows us to develop self-awareness, and I look forward to meeting you!
