Rooted in memory,
guided by knowledge
My journey began in Ecuador and has unfolded over the last 17 years in the United States, shaping me into a bilingual immigrant, a mother, and a dedicated psychotherapist.
​As a Latina woman, I bring a nuanced understanding of how race, class, spirituality, gender, and sexual identity influence our lives. My therapeutic style is direct, dynamic, and deeply kind.
I don't just listen; I collaborate with you to release stuck survival energy and build profound emotional stability.
