About My Clients

As a Latino therapist, I understand how life’s changes can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Balancing personal growth while honoring cultural values, navigating expectations, and facing uncertainty can be challenging for anyone. Whether you’re starting a new chapter, feeling the weight of responsibilities, or searching for direction, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your identity and build an authentic life.

My Background and Approach

I meet clients where they are at and have them guide sessions rather than dictating what we do in each session. I check in with clients and challenge them in order to address concerns and find solutions together. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic interventions; play therapy with younger clients and socratic questioning.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that lived experiences are interact and influence ones wellbeing and address these experiences to make sense of them in therapy. I also make sure that clients are in control of sessions and see this as a collaborative space to create goals and address issues at hand. As a Latino therapist, I understand the importance and significance culture plays in one's lives, therefore therapy can be a journey to identify how culture exacerbates our mental health and what we can do to mitigate those feelings.
