Philosophy:
My practice philosophy is rooted in a compassionate, holistic approach that emphasizes individualized care, empowering clients to navigate personal challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore sensitive topics, especially around intimacy, sexuality, and relationships. As a Latina psychologist and sex therapist, I bring a unique cultural awareness to my work, normalizing discussions around desire, intimacy, and mental health within diverse communities. I’m dedicated to supporting clients with evidence-based methods, mindfulness, and tailored therapeutic techniques, including hypnosis and experiential therapies like walk-and-talk sessions, to address the full spectrum of mental and emotional well-being. My goal is to help clients not only achieve symptom relief but also reach a deeper self-understanding, relational satisfaction, and personal growth. This philosophy extends beyond the therapy room as I engage in public speaking, media, and online content to advocate for awareness and change in my field.
