When you’re struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship challenges, therapy should be a place where you can be your full, authentic self, without having to translate your thoughts or explain cultural nuances. 

In therapy with me, you’ll have the freedom to express yourself in Spanish, knowing that I understand not just your words, but also how our Latin American culture informs emotions, values, and life experiences. This shared understanding helps build a sense of trust and safety, so you can focus on what brought you to therapy, feeling more at peace within yourself and your relationships. 

There’s something deeply comforting about being able to speak in your heart language, especially when discussing personal or emotional topics. In Spanish speaking therapy, you don’t have to struggle to find the “right” words or wonder if something is getting lost in translation. 

I also bring awareness to the cultural factors that may be shaping your experiences, whether it’s family expectations, the pressure to always be strong, or the tension of navigating two cultures at once. You won’t have to overexplain why certain things feel heavy; I’ll already understand, and together, we’ll work toward lightening that weight.

Yes! Being first-generation often comes with a unique set of challenges, feeling caught between two cultures, balancing independence with family loyalty, or struggling with expectations that may not align with your own needs. You may feel pressure to succeed, take care of others, or live up to an unspoken standard that leaves little room for your own well-being. 

In Spanish speaking therapy, we’ll explore how these experiences shape your emotions, identity, and relationships. Together, we’ll honor your cultural roots as part of your personal growth.

I help adults who feel overwhelmed by relationship challenges, anxiety, cultural identity struggles, and self-doubt. You might be navigating family pressures, work stress, or feeling like you always have to prove yourself. Maybe you’re exhausted from taking care of others while neglecting yourself. Or perhaps you’re longing for deeper, more fulfilling relationships but don’t know where to start. 

Therapy can help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find clarity on what you truly need, so you can move forward with more confidence and ease.

While the structure of therapy is similar, the experience can feel profoundly different when you’re able to speak in your native or heart language. Spanish allows for a richer emotional expression as there are words, sayings, and emotions that don’t always translate fully into English. 

But beyond language, I also consider the cultural factors that influence your experiences, such as the way emotions are expressed (or not) in your family, the expectations placed on you, and the unspoken rules you may have grown up with. By understanding these layers, therapy can feel more relevant, affirming, and effective for you.

Yes, I am currently offering online therapy sessions. While in-person sessions allow for a fuller expression of body language, movement, and non-verbal connection, online therapy can still be deeply effective. 

I guide my clients in setting up their space at home in a way that allows us to see more of each other’s body language on screen, creating a sense of presence and connection. If movement is part of our work together, I’ll help you adjust your setup, so you have the space to engage fully. 

No matter the setting, my goal is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel safe, seen, and supported.

When stress and anxiety build up, it can feel like you’re constantly carrying a weight on your shoulders, always anticipating the next demand or expectation. Therapy gives you dedicated time to pause, breathe, and understand where these feelings are coming from. 

Together, we’ll explore how family expectations, cultural values, and personal pressures might be fueling your stress. You’ll learn practical ways to calm your nervous system, set boundaries that feel true to you, and respond to challenges in a way that honors both your needs and your relationships. Over time, you’ll start to feel more empowered, more at peace, and more present in your life.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. There’s no pressure to have all the answers or to share everything at once. 

We’ll begin by going over the registration paperwork, discussing your background and history, and naming the concerns that led you to seek therapy. Together, we’ll start shaping your therapy goals, whether that’s improving your relationships, managing anxiety and stress, or feeling more confident in yourself. 

We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, and you’re welcome to share anything that feels important. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the work ahead.

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I don’t accept insurance directly. However, if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you can send to the insurance company for potential reimbursement. 

While I do not currently offer sliding-scale rates, I understand that finances can be a concern. If cost is a barrier for you, I’d be happy to provide referrals to other therapists or resources that may better fit your financial needs. Your well-being matters, and I want to ensure you receive the support that’s right for you.
