You’ve done therapy before. You’ve read the books. You understand your patterns, yet something still feels off.

If you grew up in chaos, emotional neglect, abuse, or with emotionally immature caregivers, you may find that insight alone hasn’t shifted the anxiety, hypervigilance, guilt, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. That’s because complex and developmental trauma live in the nervous system, not just in your thoughts.

I am a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) that specializes in EMDR therapy and trauma-focused treatment for adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect, domestic violence, sexual trauma, and intergenerational trauma. Many of my clients are Latinas, first-generation adults, immigrants, or high-achieving women navigating the weight of cultural expectations, family roles, and survival patterns that once protected them, but now feel limiting.

My work centers on complex trauma, nervous system regulation, and identity reconstruction. I help clients move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, empowered version of themselves. Therapy with me is structured, intentional, and paced. EMDR is integrated thoughtfully and collaboratively, not rushed.

I am deeply committed to psychoeducation. I teach you how trauma impacts the brain and body so you understand your symptoms as adaptive responses, not personal failures. When clients understand why they feel the way they do, shame begins to soften.

This work is not about becoming someone new. It’s about reclaiming the voice, clarity, and stability that trauma disrupted.
