My Background and Approach
I've wanted to be a therapist since I was a little girl. Having grown up with two ethnic backgrounds (Mexican & American) while living on the border between two countries (Mexico & U.S.A), I have become adept at metaphorically walking between worlds, and I know what it's like to struggle with cultural identity. In my psychotherapy practice, I integrate Western psychological methods with Eastern and Indigenous traditions, along with cutting-edge research on the mind-body connection. My approach is compassionate, direct, collaborative, and research-based. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique that utilizes bilateral stimulation to process difficult memories in a new way. I encountered EMDR during my first week of college, and was so blown away by the power of it that I decided to dedicate my career to it. I learned that the only way to practice EMDR is as a licensed clinician, so I began the 11-year journey to becoming a licensed clinician.
