Hi there, I'm Teresa!

I help clients explore their inner self to understand trauma, anxiety, and life stressors and start the healing process through a cultural lens. I work with individuals, couples, families, and therapists, with significant experience supporting first-generation immigrants and the Latinx community.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and multigenerational families addressing low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, trauma, intergenerational trauma, and PTSD. I specialize in supporting first-generation individuals navigating cultural identity and those who feel "not from here and not from there."

My approach

I use Client-Centered, Emotional Focused Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Therapy, and Attachment-based approaches. My work centers on empowering you to regain confidence and discover your cultural identity while addressing the unique challenges of living between cultures.
