I am deeply committed to supporting intercultural couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them embrace their unique journeys and overcome challenges. By fostering understanding and heartfelt communication, I empower partners and families to navigate cultural differences and life transitions with grace. Through a lens of cultural humility, I passionately assist those healing from trauma, including racial/ethnic discrimination, and narcissistic abuse, guiding them towards hope and resilience.
I am a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) and Bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California LMFT112227 and Florida TPMF275). I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I would like to help you restore and heal by undoing your aloneness. I invite you to reach out to me so we can work through that stuck place that keeps you feeling hopeless, disconnected, or through any traumatic experience that may be preventing you from enjoying your life to its full potential.
