About Me
I am a dedicated Latinx therapist with years of experience. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have worked in hospital settings and in residential and outpatient programs. I specialize in: cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic theories, and trauma-informed care. During therapeutic sessions, I want to empower you to learn more about mental health and explore how your history impacts your present and your future. I prioritize providing you with an empathetic, non-judgmental environment to explore your life story. I can help you deal with issues related to: anxiety, coping with chronic health conditions, depression, emotional regulation, life transitions, relationship struggles, trauma, and PTSD.
