About me
Do you find yourself struggling with shame or guilt related to the past, traumatic experiences or prioritizing yourself and needs? Is it hard to say no? Do you struggle with assertiveness and establishing healthy boundaries due upbringing, culture or religion? Is fear of rejection almost paralyzing or your thoughts seem to have a mind of their own? Does fatigue, sadness or lack of energy and motivation prevent you from living your best life? We can all experience stress, anxiety, feeling confused, lost and even depressed as we adapt to life's challenges. Although you can and have been managing it all alone, you do not have to.
Using evidence-based practices with an integrative approach, I can help you reconnect with yourself and others, establish healthy boundaries assertively even within a Latino culture, manage thoughts and adopt coping skills to unlock your potential. The journey to healing does not need to be walked alone and while pain is inevitable, suffering is not.
I am a Clinical psychologist, wife, mother and friend. My Latina heritage born in the USA and raised in a Caribbean island provide me with a comprehensive knowledge of multicultural and intersectionality considerations in therapy. I provide online only quality services with evidence-based practices in a judgment free and safe environment. Contact me for a 15-minute consultation session to determine if we are a good fit
