New to Grow
Welcome. I provide culturally responsive psychotherapy for women of color seeking an empathic, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic space. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and informed by an understanding of cultural identity, lived experiences, and generational traumas. I’ve been providing mental health services for the last ten years. I began my career as a mental health professional in public mental health to underprivileged communities. For the last five years, I’ve been steady building my private practice. I’m passionate about working with women. I specialize in helping women who are struggling with life transitions and past traumas, mood disorders, and grief and loss.
I initially work closely with my clients to identify the presenting problems that are bringing them to therapy and collaborate on goals they want to accomplish in treatment. My therapeutic approach is centered in meeting you where you’re currently in life and holding a safe space to help you feel comfortable in showing up genuinely as yourself without any reservations. If we decide this is not a good clinical fit I am more than willing to help refer you to another therapist.
As a first generation immigrant daughter of Latino descent my lived experiences have deepened my understanding on the importance of prioritizing your mental wellbeing and living your life on your terms!
I would ideally like to work with women of color specifically Black and Latino of all walks of life. I have over ten years of experience working with women of color who are experiencing life transitions, mood disorders, and grief and loss. My therapeutic approach is centered in clients lived experiences and their personal identity shaped by their racial and cultural backgrounds.
