"Finding your authentic self begins with feeling seen and understood."

About me

As an immigrant from El Salvador who moved to the U.S. in my early teens, I personally experienced culture shock, migratory grief, and the challenges of acculturation. These experiences shaped how I show up as a bilingual, Spanish-speaking therapist. I honor the ways culture, community, and systemic inequalities impact each person’s story, and I am passionate about walking alongside immigrants, first-generation individuals, couples, and Latinx clients as they reconnect with their authentic selves.

My Approach to Therapy

I strive to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel safe to explore your journey. I primarily draw from psychodynamic and person-centered approaches, with a strong focus on attachment, relational-cultural, and object-relational theory. I also integrate mujerista, feminist, womanist, decolonizing, and multicultural perspectives, allowing therapy to be both clinically grounded and culturally responsive.

Therapeutic Techniques and Experience

Since 2020, I have provided bilingual therapy to children, teens, adults, and couples across diverse communities in Illinois and virtually. My experience includes supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrants/international individuals, non-monogamous relationships, and Spanish-speaking families. I provide therapy in both Spanish and English, tailoring my approach to honor cultural identity and lived experience while empowering clients to heal.

Services Offered

I specialize in intergenerational trauma, acculturation issues, migratory grief and loss, racial and gender/sexual identity exploration, couples/relationship challenges, and family dynamics. I offer virtual bilingual therapy in Illinois, creating accessible and affirming support for individuals, couples, and families who prefer services in Spanish or English.
