Honrando tu historia. Acompañando tu camino hacia la sanación. Comenzar terapia es una invitación a volver hacia ti con curiosidad y compasión. Si has estado cargando el peso del trauma, la ansiedad, las transiciones de vida, los desafíos en tus relaciones o una sensación de desconexión contigo mismo(a), no tienes que recorrer ese camino en soledad. Creo que cada parte de ti guarda una historia que merece ser escuchada. Las formas en que has aprendido a protegerte —como el perfeccionismo, la complacencia, la autocrítica, la evitación o el adormecimiento emocional— no surgieron por casualidad; fueron maneras de ayudarte a sobrevivir. En lugar de ver estas respuestas como algo que debe corregirse, las entendemos con curiosidad y compasión, reconociendo la sabiduría que alguna vez tuvieron. Juntos crearemos un espacio cálido, seguro y libre de juicios donde puedas reconectar contigo mismo(a) y avanzar hacia la sanación a un ritmo que se sienta auténtico para ti. Como consejera bilingüe, ofrezco terapia en inglés y español con un enfoque informado por el trauma, centrado en la persona y culturalmente sensible. Cuento con un Certificado en Consejería Bilingüe reconocido por CACREP y tengo una profunda pasión por acompañar a la comunidad latina, personas LGBTQ+ y a quienes buscan un espacio donde puedan sentirse vistos, respetados y comprendidos. Áreas en las que puedo acompañarte Consejería bilingüe (inglés y español) Trauma, TEPT y trauma complejo Ansiedad, estrés y depresión Transiciones de vida y crecimiento personal Salud mental de la comunidad latina e identidad bicultural Terapia afirmativa para personas LGBTQ+ Exploración de identidad y autoestima Heridas de apego y trabajo con el niño interior Regulación del sistema nervioso y mindfulness Mi enfoque terapéutico Mi trabajo se basa en un enfoque centrado en la persona e informado por el trauma, adaptando cada proceso a tus necesidades, valores y objetivos. Integro herramientas como la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual enfocada en Trauma (TF-CBT), intervenciones informadas por Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, conciencia corporal y enfoques basados en fortalezas. "Sanar no significa convertirte en alguien diferente. Significa volver a encontrarte con la persona que siempre has sido, debajo de las cargas que has tenido que llevar." |

What It's Like to Work With Me
💛 Healing Begins with Compassion
Healing starts by meeting yourself with kindness instead of judgment. Together, we'll create space for every part of your story.
🌱 You Are More Than Your Coping Strategies
The behaviors that once helped you survive don't define who you are. Therapy can help you understand where they came from while discovering healthier ways to move forward.
🤝 Therapy Is a Collaborative Process
I believe the therapeutic relationship is one built on trust, curiosity, and mutual respect. You are the expert on your life, I am here to support and guide your journey.
🌎 Your Identity Matters
As a bilingual therapist, I recognize the importance of culture, language, family systems, and identity in shaping our experiences. My goal is to provide a space where every part of who you are feels welcomed.
🎯 My Goal
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing with greater confidence, resilience, and self-compassion.
