Es posible que hayas escuchado frases como: “ya pasó, sigue adelante, deja eso atrás.” Sin embargo, si el dolor persiste, si sientes un nudo en la garganta, si sientes que se estruja el corazón, si impacta tu día a día, si debes aparentar que todo está bien, es muy probable que estés experimentando respuestas asociadas al trauma. La terapia ofrece un espacio seguro y confidencial donde puedes procesar lo vivido, validar tus emociones y desarrollar herramientas para sanar y avanzar. El enfoque terapéutico centrado en el trauma permite trabajar de manera profunda y respetuosa con tu historia, fortaleciendo tu bienestar emocional. Este proceso suele recomendarse en un mínimo de 10 sesiones de terapia individual para lograr cambios significativos y sostenibles. You may have heard things like, “Just move on,” “let it go,” or “that’s in the past.” But if the pain is still there, if your heart feels heavy, if it affects your daily life, if you have to pretend everything is fine, or if it takes great effort just to get through your responsibilities, you may be experiencing trauma-related responses. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space where you can process what you’ve been through, validate your emotions, and develop healthy ways to heal and move forward. A trauma-focused approach allows us to work gently and effectively with your experiences while strengthening your emotional stability and sense of control. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), bilingual in English and Spanish, with extensive experience providing trauma-focused individual therapy. I earned my Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida, and have been practicing as a mental health professional since 2017.

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
