Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Marriage and Family Therapist, my primary services being in California and extended my services to Texas and South Carolina. I received my Masters from Pacific Oaks College based in Pasadena, CA. I have been practice for 15 years. I help the Latinx community heal and process their trauma, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, struggling with career stress, and depression. I provide services to young Latinx students in their last semesters of their mental health careers.
In our first session, we will briefly introduce each other, then we will embark in to the main or specific reasons that brought you to therapy. This will help me create and tailor a plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I have a wealth of experience working with teens, parents, families, young adults (first, second generation) and couples. One of my main focus is to provide a safe space for the clients.
My clients will be willing to work on their healing process! So, together, we will focus on you! To learn how childhood attachment issues, childhood trauma and other stressors may have impacted you and your relationships. I will help you process those emotions to heal the self and to enhance your relationship within self and others.

I never felt so comfortable with someone, someone who understands my culture and is attentive especially since its a time of vulnerability. I wouldnt want anyone else as a therapist!

Tere is a warm, welcoming individual, who makes her clients feel engaged, encouraged, and empowered in their sessions! She is a wealth of knowledge and strategies and I practice what she shares with me even outside our time in session! I hope to continue working with her for the foreseeable future!!

Tere is warm, kind, authentic and insightful. I came looking to work on CPTSD. Tere has utilized talk therapy, EMDR, self-reflection questions and strategic planning for practical solutions and best next steps forward that I have found immensely beneficial. I like her approach of working through and acknowledging the past while empowering you to move forward toward what you want to create NOW.
