New to Grow
I believe healing begins when you feel seen, heard, and accepted—just as you are. My goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically, explore your story without judgment, and reconnect with the strength that has always been within you. As a bilingual Latina therapist, I understand the importance of culture, family, and identity, and I strive to provide care that honors all parts of who you are.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients heal from trauma, manage anxiety, navigate grief and life transitions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Together, we'll work at a pace that feels safe while developing practical tools that support lasting growth. I am passionate about helping individuals break unhelpful patterns, heal generational wounds, and rediscover hope. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, carrying the weight of past experiences, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, you don't have to do it alone. Mi corazón está en acompañarte en tu proceso de sanación, helping you move forward with resilience, self-compassion, and confidence.
I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves and break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or a major life transition, I provide a safe, trauma-informed space where healing can happen at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you while developing practical tools to help you manage life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My approach is collaborative, empowering, and strengths-based, focusing on helping you reconnect with your inner strengths, build self-trust, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.
I identify as
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed approach by recognizing how past experiences can shape emotions, behaviors, relationships, and overall well-being. My priority is creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to share at their own pace. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I approach therapy with curiosity about what you've experienced and how those experiences have influenced your life. Together, we build on your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and process difficult experiences in a way that promotes healing, resilience, and lasting change.
EMDR
I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process distressing memories and experiences that may continue to impact their thoughts, emotions, and daily lives. EMDR is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic or overwhelming experiences so they become less emotionally distressing. I integrate EMDR at a pace that feels safe and appropriate, ensuring clients have the coping skills and emotional resources needed throughout the process. My goal is to help clients reduce emotional distress, strengthen resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and well-being.
Strength-Based
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build on the resilience and abilities you already possess. Together, we focus on identifying strengths, developing practical skills, and fostering confidence to navigate life's challenges. My goal is to empower clients to create meaningful, lasting change while building on what already makes them strong.
