I work with children, families, and adults who are struggling with:

• Trauma (physical and emotional)
• Grief/loss including death, divorce, and medical diagnoses
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Impulsivity
• Self-esteem/self-worth
• Immigration & acculturation challenges
• Relationship issues
• Cultural identity
• Behavioral Problems in children and adolescents

As a bilingual, bicultural (Cuban/Mexican) clinician, I find it extremely important to include all parts of your cultural identity in the healing process. Together we will create a realistic plan to overcome your challenges and enhance your overall mental wellness. I can use a variety of evidence-based, culturally sensitive techniques tailored to you or your loved one including:

• Normalizing experiences and differences
• Fostering corrective emotional experiences
• Play therapy for creative and emotional expression
• Somatic techniques
• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Strategies for intrusive, distressing thoughts
  Increasing coping mechanisms (more tools for your tool belt!)
• Teaching self-care practices
• Helping identify strengths
• Incorporating cultural and spiritual practices

I strongly believe that healing and growth are fostered through first forming a safe, trusting relationship between client and clinician. It is both an honor and a privilege to walk side by side with people through some of life’s most difficult moments. I will use my skills and life experiences to provide you or your loved one a welcoming self-paced therapeutic environment to process what you are going through, collaboratively set goals, and learn new wellness skills.
