About Me

Your Mind Deserves Peace—Not Just Survival. You’re the strong one. The one who keeps it together. But beneath the surface? The past still lingers—showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. You don’t have to carry it forever. EMDR therapy is like decluttering the mind, clearing out old wounds, and rewriting the story your nervous system has been stuck on. It’s deep healing—without the endless talking. I help Latina women break free from the weight of trauma, toxic patterns, and past pain so they can step into their confidence and finally exhale. My approach? Warm, real, and results-driven. No fluff—just real transformation. You’ve done hard things. Healing doesn’t have to be one of them. Let’s do this.
