(She/Her/Ella)
About me
I am a bilingual, client-centered, culturally responsive, trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I aim to create a genuine, safe, and supportive space for growth and healing. I show up authentically and am compassionate with my clients. I use somatic-based techniques, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed modalities. I am trained in EMDR, Parts & Memory, TF-CBT, and CPT. I am currently only taking telehealth clients.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, the initial assessment, we will explore why you're seeking therapy. We will get to know each other more and start to set up goals for treatment as well.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I feel like my biggest strength as a provider is providing a decolonized space for my clients and showing up compassionately.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with teens and adults. My clients are looking to start their healing journey with a clinician who is willing to walk alongside them and provide unconditional support. My ideal client is ready for change and wants to have a better understanding of themselves.

My treatment methods
EMDR
I have completed both trainings and am currently actively working towards certification. I use EMDR for clients who are open to using an approach that's different from traditional talk therapy, including clients who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
Eclectic
I consider myself an eclectic therapist because I enjoy mixing different modalities. I am person-centered and feel like a "one-size-fits-all" approach is not helpful for our clients.

Our first appointment gave me a great sense of hope. Mayra is engaging, and I feel she has the skill set to help me process, heal and grow. I'm excited for our future sessions.

Mayra is so kind, open-minded, so smart and practical. Working on myself with Mayra as a partner is the best decision I've made in a long time. I've been able to work through some things I never knew would make such a difference in my day to day. Her solution-oriented approach is invaluable.
