You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are stressed & struggling with self-esteem, anxiety or coping with what's happened in the past, including difficult life transitions and trauma. You may be fed up with making mistakes and feeling like a failure, leading to being isolated and disappointed. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way.But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to manage stress effectively. You’re ready to overcome your overwhelming thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to feel empowered and confident to take on life’s high and lows.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who can be a place of connection and vulnerability because therapy should be a place where you feel safe and seen. Sessions with me focus on developing life skills through self-reflection and connection. Together, we create meaningful relationships with others, navigate stress, and discover empowerment.

As an experienced Latinx therapist trained in Brainspotting, I believe that you are worthy of a place to release your emotions, be understood, and given the tools to not only survive, but thrive. You don’t have to continue to struggle in managing it all and you don’t have to do it alone. Email me today for a 15 minute consult, I can’t wait to hear from you.

I find that the best way to address anxiety is to first create a comfortable and safe space in our relationship to explore everything you're carrying. From there, I tailor your session to what you need - a place to vent, Brainspotting techniques, mindfulness or even simple exercises to shift your thinking. This is your space and place, and I'm here to walk with you through it all.
