Therapeutic Services

Individual Therapy

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of:

Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Parts Work (IFS-informed), and other trauma-focused methods, I work alongside you to address past pain and rediscover your strength and resilience.

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

This innovative approach can facilitate profound healing by accessing deeper self-awareness and processing trauma in a supported environment. Offered exclusively in California, this service includes preparation, guided experiences, and integration to ensure safe and meaningful progress.

Immigration Evaluations

I provide culturally sensitive and trauma-informed psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including:

  • Hardship Waivers: Documenting the emotional and psychological impact of separation from family members.
  • U-Visa Evaluations: Supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other qualifying crimes in their petitions.
  • VAWA Evaluations: Empowering survivors of abuse in intimate relationships to seek legal protections under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

As a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) therapist, I ensure that language and cultural considerations are seamlessly integrated into each evaluation, offering a supportive and understanding approach for all clients.

Speaking Engagements and Training

With over a decade of experience, I deliver engaging presentations and professional training sessions on topics such as:

  • Childhood sexual abuse and its impact on adults
  • Domestic violence and narcissistic abuse recovery
  • Trauma-informed care for staff and clients
  • Vicarious trauma and self-care for professionals

I’ve worked with nonprofits, DCFS, DMH, stakeholders, community organizations, and conferences, bringing lived experience and clinical expertise to every engagement.
