LMFT, 20 years of experience
I am a bilingual LMFT. In 1991 I obtained a B.H in Social Psychology from The Universidad Autonoma de Baja California (Mexico). In 2008, I graduated from University of Phoenix with a M.A in Marriage, Family, and Child therapy. I have more than 20 years working with patients (adolescents, parents, adults, and couples) to improve relationships, mental and/or emotional issues related with depression, anxiety, phobias, traumas, psychosocial stressors and life challenges and goals.
During the first session my primary goal is to stablish the therapeutic relationship, where you could feel safe and comfortable to start exploring issues, needs, goals and your strengths. I believe that the change, health, and progress is always possible if we work focus on that so I emphasize the use of action plans or assignments to practice and test new skills and strategies during session and in between appointments.
Having worked with Latina population in Mexico and U.S for more than 20 years had have allowed to me adapt to changes in generations, technology, medicine, social, and multicultural factors that help me to support my clients to develop skills to embrace satisfactory relationships and reach the life they dream and deserve to live.
It is a privilage to work with young people, parents, couples, adults and older adults who are experiencing complex relationship, emotional or mental situations in their lives and have the desire to work with me in search of changing habits, healing difficult experiences, and building new skills to change what is necessary to reach the best version of their self.

I consider myself extremely lucky to be paired with such an amazing therapist on the first try. Norma has helped me so much over the past 6 months & has changed my life in so many positive ways. Through her professionalism, patience, understanding, techniques, humor, & passion for what she does, she helped me learn so much about myself & how to use these new tools to move forward & continue to become a better person. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone ready to change their life.
