FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GETTING STARTED & ABOUT THERAPY
Do you offer a free consultation?

Once scheduled, you’ll receive intake forms to complete before our first appointment. From there, we’ll begin building a plan that feels supportive and aligned with your goals.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin building a foundation of trust. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just come as you are.
What types of therapy do you use?
I use a blend of evidence-based and culturally responsive approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and strengths-based, client-centered practices. Therapy is always tailored to your unique needs and experiences.
What issues do you help with?
I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, life transitions, immigration-related stress, generational trauma, perinatal mental health, and experiences of domestic violence.
Do you provide services in Spanish?
Yes. I offer bilingual services in both English and Spanish to better support individuals who feel most comfortable expressing themselves in their preferred language.
Do you work with the Latine community?
Yes. I am deeply committed to serving the Latine community through culturally responsive, affirming care that honors identity, lived experiences, and cultural values.
What makes your practice different?
This practice is rooted in culturally grounded, trauma-informed care that recognizes the strength and resilience within each person. My approach centers your story, your voice, and your healing.

Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with a few legal and ethical exceptions, which will be reviewed during the intake process.

Finding the right fit is important. The consultation is a great opportunity to explore this and ask any questions you may have.
