¡La salud mental es tan importante como la salud física!
I specialize in working with Latin@e and multiracial couples to address relational issues, marital conflict, infidelity, dismissive and anxious attachment styles, dating and breakups. I also work with individuals who have engaged in extra-marital affairs or those who struggle with insecure attachment styles.
As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with adult survivors of child abuse, complex family dynamics and complex trauma struggling with emotions, relationships, sense of self, and intimacy.
I am an immigrant raised in Mexico and I migrated to the USA when I was a teen. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I have mastered Spanglish throughout the years!
All of us are different and unique in our own way! I focus on integrating clients’ unique stories that include family, profession, culture, ethnic identity, socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, immigration experiences and traumatic events into my practice. My approach to healing is to focus on co-creating a trusting, safe and empowered experience. I also believe a healthy sense of humor can go a long way in the therapy room.
