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.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I work with folks using an eclectic approach; I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
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.
