Authentic

I am a warm, empathetic, and eclectic therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through healing and growth. As a bilingual, trauma‐informed Latina clinician, I specialize in working with teens and adults (13+) navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, immigration‐related stress, and women’s issues.

As a Latina therapist I have a strong cultural intuition, resilience, and empathy that textbooks simply cannot teach.

My approach centers on creating a safe, culturally attuned space where your story is honored and your strengths guide the path towards healing.

Teresa always gives me realistic advice in a warm and gentle way. Her analysis of what is going on in my life feels genuine and direct, but never harsh. She works intentionally to establish rapport and maintain it. She gives me space to express everything I have going on and cares enough to recall events/ information at a later time if I'm not ready to confront it right away. As a client, it is obvious to me that providing a safe environment feels like a priority to her.
