About me...
Carl Rodgers said "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." In my work as therapist I create an open and non-judgmental space for you to feel understood, safe, and honor your needs. I am passionate about working with individuals who are processing trauma, life transitions, and navigating identity loss. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and elder adults who may be needing support as they navigate through their life.
I use a trauma informed lens in combination with somatic based therapy to support you in your journey, Additionally, I also incorporate a holistic approach to treatment. Understanding where you are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually can help guide therapy and provide a better understanding of how I can support you.
As a Latina, I understand the importance of taking a cultural lens into consideration. Finding the right therapist is essential to your healing journey and I invite you to book a consultation for us to connect. I look forward to hearing from you.
