- LMFT
I am a bilingual Spanish/English therapist. I am passionate about helping BIPOC and individuals at different phases of life, break cycles. These cycles can be associated with generational trauma and unhealthy patterns. I want to help them to find their voice, set boundaries, and develop a better version of themselves. I mainly take a person-centered approach and adjust the treatment approach according to your needs.
