Therapy

As a constantly busy person, not tending to yourself because of a tradition of putting yourself last, it can be challenging to pause or ask for help. Something has, finally, brought you to a screeching halt and you are starting to give yourself permission to welcome support. You are not alone! Many communities have, for generations, inherited survival practices that exhaust mind and body. May this revolutionary act of pausing to rest and heal be the shift towards joyfully squeezing the juices out of life!

I offer my enthusiasm to partner with you in creating positive life transformation by supporting your journey of identifying strengths, growing from challenges, and building on them. Being of multicultural background and having experience working with clients of diverse narratives and identities helps me to remain open to your point of view.

This work has allowed me to join with individuals in tapping into their wisdom to respond in new ways to depression, anxiety, life transitions and relationship conflicts. I have an extensive history working within the arts community through the healing process of children, adolescents, and adults.

You are invited to co-create with me a sense of safety for your voice to be fully honored. My practice is engaging individuals in cultivating or reconnecting with their agency to thrive, especially following burnout. Cultural and historical context are a priority, such that a more nuanced story helps in creating a new consciousness to move beyond surviving.

Training in trauma studies within the African American, Afro Latinx and Latinx communities adds to my offerings in listening with empathy. As a Panamanian with roots in the Caribbean, I speak Spanish fluently, which serves well in many therapy sessions. May this next step in strengthening self-kindness enhance your sense of connection in relationships. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
