About My Clients

Here at Feel It To Heal it, we work primarily with adults 18+ and elderly 65+. Given my personal connection to the Latinx community, I especially love giving back to my community. My lived experience helps me to understand a variety of cultural difficulties/struggles that are often unique to our heritage. In this community, we typically do not talk about feelings and it is out of the norm to seek mental health. I believe on breaking the stigma around seeking help and talking about mental health

My Background and Approach

We understand that mental health is not easy to seek within the latinx/hispanic community. We are here to normalize seeking help, teach you how to embrace your feelings, and learn better ways to manage your current stressors. Trauma is our passion, but we also focus on areas such as life stressors, childhood trauma, attachment related issues, improving your quality of relationships, and empowering you to learn more about your authentic self. We also think it is essential to be more aware of your feelings and learn to validate them while finding ways to balance them as well. Here healing is our main focus. At Feel It To Heal It, we believe every story is worth hearing. We believe in the power of breaking generational stigmas around mental health and feelings. We believe in the importance of healing and resolving past pain while embracing being connected to your feelings. Join us in improving the relationship with your mental health.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In regard to mental health, I feel this is often an area that is not talked about enough especially in the latinx/hispanic community. Life is filled with so many stressors now a days that everyone goes through difficult times. I believe that talking to others about how you are doing and feeling is essential to your wellbeing. We as a community need to be more open about our struggles. We acknowledge that our ancestors handled things how they were passed down, but we know this hasn't created the best way of living. I believe we are all capable of change, growth, and resilience. We have the capability and power to break generational traumas and unhealthy patterns that can help us live in a more balanced way. If you want to learn more how I can help, send us a message so we can get you started with a free consultation.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
