My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal at your own pace. I integrate a range of evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your unique story and goals. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural responsiveness, and a deep respect for your lived experience.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

At the core of my work is EMDR, a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you process and heal from past trauma, painful memories, or negative self-beliefs that may still be impacting you today. EMDR can be especially helpful if you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, or perfectionism—even when you “know better” but still feel overwhelmed.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

I use DBT to help you build practical skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and more effective communication—tools that are especially supportive for women balancing caregiving, work, and personal identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT allows us to explore and reframe thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, or shame. Together, we’ll identify beliefs that may no longer serve you and begin creating space for healthier, more empowering perspectives.

Mindfulness & Somatic Awareness

Grounding practices and gentle body-based techniques can help restore your connection to yourself, reduce stress, and support nervous system regulation. These practices are particularly useful for those who feel disconnected, anxious, or on edge.

Trauma-Informed, Culturally Responsive Care

I create a safe space where your full identity—cultural, racial, generational, and spiritual—is acknowledged and honored. As a bilingual Latina therapist, I understand the impact of intergenerational trauma, cultural expectations, and the complexities of navigating multiple identities. My approach centers your values, your pace, and your voice.
