Therapy Style
I am a native Spanish-speaking psychotherapist with more than 15 years of experience with adults and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds. I am dedicated to supporting individuals who are going through challenging situations that impact their mental and emotional well-being. I have expertise working with people dealing with issues of trauma, acculturation, immigration, life transitions, family, and relationships. I provide a warm, supportive, and safe space to process feelings, thoughts, and behaviors which allows awareness of strengths and development of coping skills. My integrative therapeutic approach promotes empowerment and healing and is tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
