I am a trauma therapist who loves to work with individuals who are the first to break generational cycles of trauma in their family. As a first gen therapist myself, I understand the complexities that come with wanting to set boundaries with family members in order to live a healthier, more balanced life. Many of my clients struggle with assertiveness, speaking up, and feelings stuck when wanting to move forward to the next steps in their towards their goals. I offer an individualized, tailored approach to my clients and their unique needs and utilize brainspotting to help them process the emotions and trauma that has kept them stuck for so long. I've enjoyed working with musicians, athletes, creatives and entrepreneurs reconnect with their potential that has been in them all along. Brainspotting can help uncover what's already amazing about you, let's connect and discuss more about how brainspotting can help you in your unique healing journey. 

Parents want what is best for their child and they want someone that will let their child learn and explore their experiences in a safe environment. You want to learn how to support your child/adolescent at home by gaining resources and tools that will improve relationships and behaviors. I help individuals, groups, parents, children, adolescents, and adults navigate through their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with issues of depression, grief, anxiety, behavior, self-harm, suicidality, and neurodiversity. You want someone that will listen and assist you in meeting your goals and I will guide you along the way. With a diversified approach using modalities such as trauma-focused CBT, child-centered play therapy, animal assisted therapy, and cognitive behavioral theory, I teach the client how to recognize that thoughts can change their feelings and emotions in various situations which can then induce adverse behaviors and body sensations. My goal is to help clients process trauma and teach how to implement strategies to build healthy thought patterns leading to a foundation for lifelong resilience and well-being. Neurodiverse people will learn skills to help with relationships/friendships, social cues, perspectives, and emotional regulations. I'm ready to meet and support you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.    

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship, parenting, or family concerns? Let's explore the barriers, challenges, or stressors that impact your ability to succeed together. I will provide knowledge, support and empower you to grow and succeed. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples. When addressing parenting, couples, or family concerns, the goal is to improve communication, identify barriers that affect the relationship, (re) define connectedness, explore boundaries, and understand oneself within the relationship. My approach to therapy centers around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems. However, I adapt to your unique needs depending on your concerns and treatment goals by taking a flexible and multifaceted approach to your treatment. I will provide you a safe environment to explore emotions and patterns that can help improve your mental health. My professional interest include working with individual, families, and couples across cultural, sexual, and gender identities. Some of the identities that influence my therapy style are being a bilingual Latina woman from immigrant parents who is part of a big family married with a child. I offer treatment in Spanish, English, or Spanglish.
