Individual Therapy

I offer individual therapy where your experience is honored without judgment.​ It is grounded in a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment to help you navigate:

  • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

  • Life transitions

  • Self-esteem and identity

  • Grief, loss, and relationship challenges

In our sessions, I integrate somatic practices and talk therapy to support healing on both emotional and physical levels.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma isn’t just one event: it’s how overwhelming experiences continue to affect us long after they’ve passed.

 

Whether it’s a single incident or a series of events, trauma can leave you feeling unsafe, powerless, or constantly on edge. Sometimes, it’s not about physical harm but about how isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed you felt in the moment. 

Some of the most well-known symptoms of a traumatic experience can be:​

 

  • Panic attacks

  • Constant background anxiety

  • Nightmares

  • Constant sense of shame

  • Sense of numbness or spacing out

​​​

​I work with people who have experienced domestic violence, human trafficking, complex trauma, interpersonal abuse, power imbalances, and coercion.

Trauma therapy helps you process these experiences, rebuild your sense of safety, and regain balance. With care and support, healing is possible.

Questions about therapy?

Have questions about how therapy works? This section covers what to expect, how sessions are structured, and how I can support you on your healing journey.

  • How do you choose a therapist?
    Research has shown that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that forms between you and your therapist. Thus, it is essential that you choose a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe, with whom you feel you can open up and be honest.
  • I can talk to my friends. Why should I see a therapist?
    Friends can be a great resource in our lives, and is very important to have them. But friends are not objective. As fun as they are, sometimes they can be unintentionally judgmental, opinionated and unsupportive. They might want you to do what they want or need, which some times might confuse you. As a therapist, I offer my knowledge, insights, observations and confidenciality in a way that helps you move from where you are stuck, focusing entirely in your story with objectivity.
  • How many sessions do I need?
    It depends on your situation. Therapy is NOT a short term work, so I recommend that you commit to at least 10 sessions in order for you to see results. For some people that is enough, for others it might take a year or more. This is not very much, if you consider how long it took you to get where you are right now, and how much longer you’ll be able to enjoy the results.
  • I don’t speak Spanish, can I still see you?
    Absolutely. Spanish is my first language, but my training and much of my experience is in English. As long as you feel comfortable with my accent, I’m happy to work with you.
  • How long are the therapy sessions?
    They are all 60 minutes, except for the first time, which usually extends to 80 minutes (hour and 20 minuts.)
  • How often should I expect to come in?
    People usually start coming in once a week and then as the therapy progresses and things begin to improve we might decide that coming in less often will work. In the beginning once a week visits tend to build up momentum for progress and also helps to create the kind of trusting relationship needed for the therapy to be effective. It’s very important to be consistent in order to create change.
  • What kind of people seek therapy?
    I see all sorts of people in my practice, from people that are facing some very difficult emotional and psychological challenges, to people who simply feel blocked in some way in their life and want help in creating a more fulfilling and joy-filled life. The myth in our culture that therapy is for people who are “crazy” is simply not true. We all need help at some point in our lives and it’s healthy to know when and how to get help.
  • What languages do you offer evaluations in?
    We offer evaluations in English and Spanish. If another language is needed, we may be able to work with a certified interpreter. Please reach out to discuss your specific situation.
