About My Clients

The clients I see often come to me feeling stuck, isolated, and drained by their history. They're dealing with racing thoughts, emotions that feel too big to handle, and a nagging difficulty forming close, secure connections. We meet virtually to use EMDR and an understanding of relationships to finally heal those old hurts. When they finish our work, clients often feel more at home with themselves and able to see how much they deserve calm, consistency, and a real sense of belonging

My Background and Approach

In sessions, our focus is on building a safe space where you feel completely accepted, understood, and respected—no matter what you bring into the room. I won't be giving advice; instead, I'm here to build a genuine, authentic connection that helps you tap into your own inner strength and ability to heal. We use our relationship together—the "here and now" experience—to gently look at and change the old patterns in how you relate to others, especially those linked to past hurts and attachment wounds. This process offers a new, positive template, helping you develop deeper self-acceptance and create healthier connections in all areas of your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My identity as a Puerto Rican woman informs the warmth and connection I bring to every session. Having grown up speaking Spanish, I proudly offer therapy in both Spanish and English, ensuring that language is never a barrier to vulnerability and healing. My strongest value is that everyone deserves the resources to build a connected, thriving life. I am passionate about mental health equity and firmly believe in empowering clients, particularly those from marginalized communities, who often face the greatest obstacles in accessing care
