New to Grow
As a daughter of Mexican immigrants, I know firsthand the stigma surrounding communities of color regarding mental health. Often, my clients arrive at sessions feeling overwhelmed with cultural and societal expectations. I want to provide you with a space where you can feel safe, feel seen, be vulnerable, and work towards healing and connectedness. I help immigrant and BIPOC communities to unlearn patterns and behaviors that relate to their lived experience of intergenerational trauma and anxiety.
I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to our work together. Finding a therapist who can understand your cultural identity is central to healing. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure I am the right therapist for you. In our first session, we do an intake session in which we would go over your family history, mental health history, relationship to food, etc.
I work with folks using an eclectic approach; I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
I specialize in working with Latine and BIPOC communities. My practice is based on your needs and goals. I center the work based on your lived experience and interactions with systems of oppression or experiences of trauma. I provide a supportive and affirming space where you are seen and can openly explore and unpack your lived experiences in the session.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I used AEDP to explore emotions while also using the body as a source of grouding.
