Therapy can be a place to pause, laugh, get uncomfortable, and listen to yourself. Together, we can untangle which parts of your story feel true to who you are and which ones you may have picked up along the way, so you can move toward what matters most to you. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.
Therapy Style:
I speak both Spanish and English, and I’m curious about how our family, culture, relationships, work and life experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, we carry beliefs and expectations for years without really questioning where they came from or whether they still fit. Other times, the weight comes from experiences we haven’t had the chance to process. I enjoy helping people explore these stories, understand their patterns, and figure out what they want to take with them.
I value a collaborative relationship where we work side by side. You know your own experience best, and I’m here to help you make sense of it. I want you to feel free to bring all of yourself, even when you don’t have the words or everything figured out. This is a space for honest conversations, vulnerability, and even laughter. Along the way, moments often start to click. Together, we can learn to make room for what comes up instead of fighting it.
My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, with a feminist, multicultural, and LGBTQ+-affirming perspective. I work with people experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, career changes, work-related stress, and relationship challenges, especially complex family dynamics.
I offer virtual therapy in both English and Spanish. Please reach out, and we can talk about whether we might be a good fit.
Hablo español e inglés, y me interesa cómo la familia, la cultura, los vínculos, el trabajo y las experiencias de vida influyen en la manera en que nos vemos y en cómo vemos el mundo. A veces cargamos durante años con creencias y expectativas sin cuestionarnos de dónde vienen ni si todavía nos representan. Otras veces, lo que pesa viene de cosas que vivimos y nunca tuvimos el espacio para procesar. Disfruto acompañar a las personas a mirar esas historias, entender sus patrones y decidir qué quieren llevarse con ellas.
Valoro una relación horizontal, donde trabajamos codo a codo. Tú conoces tu experiencia mejor que nadie, y yo estoy para ayudarte a darle sentido. Quiero que te sientas libre de venir con todo lo que eres, incluso cuando no tienes las palabras o no tienes todo resuelto. Hay lugar para conversaciones honestas, vulnerabilidad, risas y momentos en los que algo hace clic: un pedacito de la vida misma en el consultorio. Podemos aprender a hacerle lugar a lo que aparece en vez de pelearnos con eso.
Mi enfoque se nutre de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT), Terapia Dialéctico Conductual (DBT) y EMDR, desde una mirada feminista, multicultural y afirmativa con la comunidad LGBTQ+. Trabajo con personas que atraviesan trauma, ansiedad, depresión, transiciones de vida, cambios de carrera, estrés laboral y dificultades en sus relaciones, especialmente dinámicas familiares complejas.

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We can’t always control the thoughts and feelings that show up, and sometimes, the harder we fight them, the louder they get. Instead, we practice noticing them without getting caught up in whether they’re true, including the harsh things we sometimes tell ourselves. For example, you might think, “I’m not good enough.” Rather than getting stuck trying to prove or disprove that thought, we can explore how you want to respond when it shows up. From there, we work on identifying what matters most to you and taking small steps in that direction, even when it feels uncomfortable.
ACT can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. At its core, it’s about learning to handle difficult thoughts and feelings in a way that gives you more freedom to choose how you want to live.
DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. It helps you build practical skills for intense emotions, stressful moments, and relationships. We work on four main areas: mindfulness, to be more aware of what you’re feeling; distress tolerance, to get through hard moments without making them worse; emotion regulation, to understand your emotions and respond to them; and interpersonal effectiveness, to communicate your needs and set boundaries. We use the skills that fit you and leave the rest.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin. Maybe you know something doesn’t feel right, you feel stuck, or you’re not sure how to put what you’re going through into words. That’s okay. We can start there. We’ll talk through what’s going on in your life and what you’d like to be different, one step at a time.
Yes! Spanish is my first language, and I especially enjoy working with Spanish-speaking clients. I offer virtual therapy in both Spanish and English. You can choose whichever language feels more natural to you, and you can switch between them whenever you want. Sometimes, the words we use to describe what we feel just land differently in one language than in another. I want you to feel comfortable expressing yourself without having to translate your thoughts or experiences to be understood.
¡Sí! El español es mi lengua materna y disfruto especialmente trabajar con personas hispanohablantes. Ofrezco terapia virtual tanto en español como en inglés. Podés elegir el idioma con el que te sientas más cómoda y cambiar de uno a otro cuando quieras. A veces, las palabras que usamos para describir lo que sentimos tienen matices diferentes según el idioma. Quiero que te sientas cómoda expresándote, sin tener que traducir tus pensamientos o experiencias para poder hacerte entender.
