Spanish language and multicultural experiences have been an important part of my professional journey. Through community involvement and extensive immersion in Latin culture, I developed Spanish language skills that I later used while completing my graduate training and throughout my early clinical career.
Over the years, I had the opportunity to work with Spanish-speaking individuals and families in a variety of treatment settings, including community mental health, nonprofit clinics, and residential treatment programs. These experiences allowed me to provide psychotherapy in Spanish while deepening my understanding of the cultural, family, and systemic factors that influence mental health and the therapeutic process.
Although my clinical practice has evolved over the years, these experiences continue to shape my appreciation for culturally responsive care and the importance of understanding each client’s unique cultural background, values, and lived experience.
Today, my clinical practice is focused on trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, Relational Gestalt Therapy, and Yoga Therapy. While my experience working with Spanish-speaking communities remains an important part of my professional journey, I no longer maintain the level of Spanish fluency necessary to provide psychotherapy in Spanish. As a result, I am not currently offering therapy services in Spanish.
