Hi there, I'm Brenda!

I take a heart-centered, culturally responsive approach that blends evidence-based practices to support healing and growth. I specialize in helping first-generation BIPOC and Latinx professionals manage anxiety, depression, codependency, and life transitions.

My focus

I work with young professionals within the BIPOC and Latinx communities, especially first-generation individuals and children of immigrants. I’m most comfortable treating stress, anxiety, mild to moderate depression, codependency, life transitions, and professional burnout, helping clients find balance, confidence, and emotional clarity.

My approach

My approach blends CBT, DBT, and IFS within a compassionate, culturally responsive framework. I help clients build self-awareness, regulate emotions, and set healthy boundaries. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming space for healing, growth, and connection to one’s authentic self.
