New to Grow
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression. I believe in treating the whole person rather than symptoms. Our work together would focus on several aspects like processing your pain, helping you reclaim your sense of self and build healthier, and grounded connections. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, gentle and tailored to exactly what you need.
Reaching out for support takes incredible courage, and you deserve a space where you can safely process your experiences without judgment. In the first session, the goal is knowing about you. We are going to identify what your needs are from having structured tool and practical coping skills you can use immediately or a slow, compassionate pace to progress deep-rooted trauma. We will figure out what pace and style work best for you.
Healing doesn't meant erasing your history; it means learning how to move through the hard stuff so you can breathe easier and thrive. If you are looking for someone to walk alongside you as you navigate your way through, I am here. I strive to create an environment that feels welcoming and empowering, keeping the focus entirely on my client's personal healing journeys. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. We will work together to quiet your overactive nervous system, and build practical tools for immediate relief.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression that are rooted in unhealed past trauma or attachment wounds, and whose symptoms impact their relational or family dynamics. They could be struggling with single-incident trauma, developmental trauma, or major life transitions that trigger relationship conflicts. Clients motivated to reframe trauma-related negative thoughts that fuel their depression, and process traumatic experiences safely and restore a sense of emotional regulation and stability.
