Do these resonate with you: " I feel stuck", "I want to be able to love myself", "I feel depleted", "I'm angry or sad all the time" or " I keep putting other people's needs before my own"?. Maybe you've tried to occupy yourself even more so you don't have to think about your problems or you decided to wait it out because you don't want to seem weak. But, one day, you realize nothing is changing and decide to take the first step towards positive change. I'm here to offer support and guidance during this new step.

The pressure to be the best mother for your children feels like it never ends. You are a mother that always wanted this dream to have children. However, being a survivor of sexual abuse always leaves you weary of where you drop off your children. School no longer feels safe. You want to stop feeling triggered by the constant demands of sibling rivalry, what's for dinner and how you never get a moment to yourself. You wish your anxiety would stop keeping you up late at night or waking you up in the middle of the night. You want to start healing from your past childhood wounds that are creeping into the present.

Things were going great. You got the job, you’re in a relationship, you have great friends but then, suddenly, life didn’t feel fulfilling anymore. Your anxiety started sneaking up again, your trauma started resurfacing, and your self-esteem got lower than ever before. You’ve tried all the things to help yourself get out of this funk, but nothing seems to work. And you question if this your new reality.

Anxiety, depression, and the experience of grief and loss can all feel like heavy clouds casting shadows over every aspect of your life, keeping you stuck and preventing you from living life fully. Whether you are struggling with difficult emotions such as sadness, fear, shame, anger, panic, or life limiting behaviors such as overthinking, constant worry, isolation, or avoidance, effective therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions, gain insight into your unique circumstances, learn coping strategies, and reclaim control over your mental health.

I entered the counseling profession to support individuals who are having difficulties facing life’s challenges. I have found that many people struggle because they have created unrealistic expectations about the support, relationships, and encouragement they need. I believe that as humanity becomes “busier,” life becomes more complicated, affecting relationships and how we see ourselves fitting in the world. Life is often full of difficult and complicated experiences that are difficult to overcome, especially without support. Ultimately, these difficulties distract us from pursuing what enriches our lives.

Anxiety is a normal part of life but too much anxiety can make us choose unhelpful coping mechanisms that prevent us from being able to function in other areas of our life. We often feel that if anxiety would just go away, we'd feel better about our day to day lives but where does that leave us when another anxiety provoking situation or event happens? Getting control of anxiety is difficult work but it can alleviate so many of the hurdles we experience in life. As a certified hypnotherapist and licensed professional counselor, we can work together to help you use healthier coping mechanisms to be the person you want to be.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
