As a bilingual and bicultural mental health therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, integrating diverse cultural insights with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in cultural competence, allowing me to connect with people in a meaningful way and offer therapy that fully respects and integrates their cultural identities. I aim to foster a therapeutic space where people feel understood, empowered, and supported throughout their journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming experience. We’ll chat about what you hope to achieve in therapy, including immediate concerns and long-term goals. I’ll learn about your personal history, current challenges, and strengths to better understand your unique situation. I’ll also explain how therapy works and how we’ll collaborate to meet your goals. We’ll ensure that feel heard and respected, and I’ll outline how their privacy is protected. This session is about laying a solid foundation for our work together and ensuring we’re aligned as we move forward.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Growing up as a Latino- American daughter of immigrant parents deeply influenced my path to becoming a therapist. Raised in a close-knit community where resilience, family, and cultural heritage were paramount, I experienced the blend of my parents' culture and challenges of navigating a new country. This dual perspective gave me a profound appreciation for cultural diversity and the unique struggles of individuals from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of identity, resilience, and empowerment. As a therapist, I strive to provide culturally responsive support, helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate their own paths to healing and growth. My journey is about blending my personal heritage with professional skills to connect deeply with clients and offer the understanding and guidance they need.
