Hi there, I'm Carolina!

I provide compassionate, bilingual psychotherapy for individuals and families, supporting them in navigating emotions, distress, and resilience during challenging times. I offer a safe, supportive space to process emotions, develop coping skills, and find strength in adversity.

My focus

I work with English and Spanish-speaking clients who are navigating life’s most challenging moments, especially those dealing with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions (such as cancer diagnosis, grief, trauma).

My approach

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients process emotions, build flexibility, and focus on what matters. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness for emotional awareness, and Narrative and Existential Therapy for grief, trauma, or life transitions.
