Hello! I am a Colombian-American, cis-gender woman (she/her/ella), speak some Spanish, and am a psychotherapist at Center of Resilience Counseling & Wellness in Clearwater, FL. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in trauma counseling from Antioch University, New England. I also have a degree in hypnotherapy and I am Reiki practitioner.

Have you experienced trauma or a distressing event that is showing up physically or emotionally or both, no matter how long it has been? This can often show up as anxiety, depression, insomnia, feeling overwhelmed, unexplained essential tremors, IBS, fears and phobias, low self-esteem, body image, weight problems, unexplained chronic pain, lack of focus, and more. Has this caused you to feel stuck in your body and in your life? Or are you struggling to find balance and could use some support?

 Whether you are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, body image and weight, depression, grief and loss (human or animal), health problems, chronic pain, life challenges, LGBTQ+, cultural/ethnic marginalization related issues, career and life changes or goals, or just need someone to help you through a tough time, I am here to partner with you through compassion and empathy! I am passionate about helping others grow, find their power, and live their best lives. I have a very caring, whole-person and heart-centered, culturally-sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, empathic, and intuitive approach.

I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBCT), Queer Theory, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, hypnotherapy, somatic, and person-centered approaches.

 If any of this resonates with you, please reach out!
