Therapy style

I am a first-generation Mexican-American with an intuitive calling to work with women of color who are going through life transitions. I use an eclectic approach with each client and acknowledge that everyone's life story is unique with different needs. My focus is on building healing therapeutic relationships that create a safe space for self-expression, inside and outside the therapy room. I will walk beside you with cultural humility while you lead the discovery—you are the expert of your life.
