Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I am a first-generation bilingual Latina therapist. My approach stems from humility, compassion, empathy, and person-centered care while remaining trauma-informed. I assist individuals in navigating and healing from domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, relationship stressors, life transitions, and childhood trauma.

My focus

I typically work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, and survivors of domestic violence.

My approach

My goal is to provide you with a safe and trusting environment free of judgment, where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, concerns, challenges, hopes, and goals while helping you build your coping skill toolkit. I tap into a strengths-based approach to help you find and connect with your inner strengths while feeling empowered.
