As a specialized anxiety and trauma therapist, I help first-generation adults move through the invisible weight of patterns passed down long before you arrived. You may be the first in your family to name what happened and the first to decide it stops with you. That kind of courage deserves precise, culturally attuned support, not generic advice. Together, we’ll untangle what’s yours, what you inherited, and what you’re ready to release. This is not surface-level coping. Working with an anxiety and trauma therapist who understands your world means the work goes deeper lasting, generational change, starting with you.
I’m a first-generation, bilingual Mexican-American therapist offering in-person and virtual individual therapy in Yorba Linda, CA. As someone who knows firsthand the pressure of holding multiple worlds at once, I bring genuine cultural nuance, not just awareness to every session. My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, and attachment-focused work alongside culturally affirming and neurodivergent-informed care, supporting clients with ADHD and different ways of thinking, feeling, and processing. I work with people who are open to honest feedback, ready to be gently challenged, and serious about reaching their goals.
My commitment is simple: you shouldn’t have to translate your experience to be understood here. I create a space where your full self, your culture, your history, your humor is not just welcome, it’s essential to the work. Outside the office, I’m usually deep in a thriller book, singing rancheras out loud, discovering a new restaurant, or traveling to Mexico. That same curiosity and authenticity shows up in every session.
