Life can sometimes be difficult and bring different challenges that may be unsettling for us all. Those challenges may leave us feeling alone, hopeless, or not good enough. This may cause some challenges with the relationships we have with others and ourselves. It would be my honor to help you navigate the challenging moments that are occurring and offer an inviting space to be heard.

Together we will focus on healing and start the process of restoring hope and confidence. I strive to meet clients where they are at and have flexibility within sessions. You are not alone and through my work I strive to ensure that you know your voice matters. With me you will find a safe place to share struggles and feel supported through my client-centered approach. I will gently guide and challenge you to work through life transitions and relationship difficulties. My hope is to provide you with the positive skills and clarity to build the confidence on how to approach the world around you.

With my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Brainspotting I enjoy helping couples and individuals that may have difficulty navigating current stressors to allow them to live a more meaningful life. With all my clients I take a collaborative approach because I believe everyone holds the answers within, but sometimes need someone to help them find that voice. I’m currently seeking certification in Perinatal Mental Health to expand my work with individuals and couples that may be struggling with loss, fertility, or adapting to this new stage of being parents.

Being a proud 1st generation Latina immigrant from Guatemala, I also enjoy working with individuals and couples that may struggle with their identity and intergenerational trauma. I’m culturally aware of the difficulties of coming to a new country and losing that sense of self. Living in the U.S., while struggling to keep your cultural identity alive. The trauma that occurs due to the difficulties faced going to a new country and not always having a safe space to process those events. I understand it takes a lot to open yourself up to someone, but I believe my cultural sensitivity and embrace for my client’s differences allow me to approach things with compassion and empathy. I continue to expand my knowledge on individuals that have immigrated and the impact it has on their mental health by attending workshops and trainings to better serve my community.

Finding the right therapist is important and for that reason I offer 15-minute phone consultations prior to scheduling the 1st appointment. Please do not hesitate to reach out, it would be a privilege to work alongside you.


La vida a veces puede ser difícil y presentar diferentes dificultades que pueden resultar en inquietudes para todos nosotros. Esas dificultades pueden hacer que uno se sienta solo, sin esperanza o no lo suficientemente capaz. Esto puede causar problemas con las relaciones que tenemos con los demás y con nosotros mismos. Sería un honor para mí ayudarte a navegar los momentos difíciles que están ocurriendo y ofrecer un espacio acogedor para ser escuchado.

Juntos nos enfocaremos en comenzar el proceso de restaurar la esperanza y la confianza. Me esfuerzo por encontrarme con los clientes donde estén emocionalmente y tener flexibilidad dentro de las sesiones. Es importante que sepas que no estás solo, y a través de mi trabajo me esfuerzo por asegurarme de que sepas que tu voz importa. Conmigo, encontrarás un lugar seguro para compartir luchas y sentirte apoyado a través de mi enfoque centrado en el cliente. T e guiaré a tu paso para que superes las transiciones ocurriendo en tu vida y las dificultades en tus relaciones. Mi esperanza es brindarte las habilidades positivas y la claridad para desarrollar la confianza sobre cómo abordar el mundo que te rodea.

Con mi formación en T erapia Centrada en las Emociones y Brainspotting, disfruto ayudando a parejas e individuos que pueden tener dificultades para navegar por los factores estresantes actuales para permitirles vivir una vida más significativa. Con todos mis clientes, adopto un enfoque colaborativo porque creo que todos tenemos las respuestas dentro de uno mismo, pero a veces necesitamos que alguien nos ayude a encontrar esa voz. Actualmente, estoy trabajando en mi certificación en Salud Mental Perinatal por mi trabajo con individuos y parejas que pueden estar luchando con pérdida, fertilidad o la adaptación a esta nueva etapa de ser padres.

Como una orgullosa inmigrante latina de primera generación de Guatemala, también disfruto trabajar con personas y parejas que pueden luchar con su identidad y el trauma intergeneracional. Soy culturalmente consciente de las dificultades de venir a un nuevo país y perder ese sentido de identidad. Vivir en los EE. UU. mientras tratas de luchar por mantener viva tu identidad cultural. Y navegar las dificultades de estar en un nuevo país. Y también el trauma que ocurre debido a las dificultades que se enfrentan al ir a un nuevo país y no siempre tener un espacio seguro para procesar esos eventos. Entiendo que se requiere confianza para poder hablar de las cosas que han pasado, pero creo que mi sensibilidad cultural y la aceptación de las diferencias de mis clientes me permiten abordar las cosas con compasión y empatía. Continúo mi conocimiento y estudios en el impacto en la salud mental tiene para las personas que han tenido que inmigrar al asistir a talleres para servir mejor a mi comunidad.

Encontrar al terapeuta adecuado es importante y por eso ofrezco consultas por teléfono de 15 minutos antes de programar la primera cita. No dude en comunicarse conmigo, sería un privilegio trabajar junto a usted.
