I’m a licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of experience and the founder of The Child & Family Therapy Place, Inc. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive care in both English and Spanish, offering accessible mental health services to the bilingual community in Salinas, CA. Specializing in somatic therapy, I focus on the mind-body connection to address trauma, anxiety, and depression. In our sessions, I also incorporate inner child work, ego exploration, and generational healing, helping you uncover and heal deep-seated patterns. If you wish, we can also integrate your spiritual beliefs into therapy, ensuring a holistic approach that honors every aspect of your journey. The clients I support are committed to their healing journey, seeking to heal past experiences, connect with their life purpose, and live in alignment with their true selves. You’ll find a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive space in our sessions. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and am here to walk alongside you as you heal and grow. If you’re ready for a journey of self-discovery, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

This is some of what you can expect form our work together

In our work together, you’ll embark on a collaborative journey of healing. I walk the path with you, guiding and supporting you as you navigate life’s challenges. Many clients discover a deeper sense of self and their own capacity to heal from trauma, moving beyond anxiety and depression that may have held them back.

I believe that healing can be a joyous process. Through a holistic and integrative approach, we’ll reclaim the parts of yourself that have been hidden, addressing mind, body, and spirit for true transformation.

We’ll focus on identifying and healing the negative core beliefs that unconsciously shape your life. Along the way, you’ll learn to listen to your body, understand your emotions and together, we’ll reprogram these beliefs, fostering a more joyous and fulfilling life.
