From relationship challenges, exposure to trauma and overall daily demands, it can become difficult to navigate everyday life. Sometimes these tough situations can cause you to ask yourself, “Am I good enough?” or “Why me?” which can lead to depressive thoughts, anxiety, and even traumatic stress. Together, we will work to uncover underlying wounds that could have contributed to the difficulties causing you complications with reaching your desired way of feeling, thinking, behaving, and living.
I am passionate about empowering my clients to regain control of their life. My ideal client is one who is open-minded to new tools and perspectives about themselves. A client who is frustrated by repeated cycles of the same behaviors, relationships, and outcomes. I create a safe space to allow my clients the opportunity to be their authentic self.
I am educated in clinical mental health, trauma-informed care, including Eye Movement Desensitization Training and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Change, processing, growth, and healing do not come easy. You set the pace for your healing journey. Schedule with her at mnb.therapy@gmail.com
Los desafíos de la relación, la exposición al trauma y las demandas diarias, pueden resultar
difícil navegar la vida. A veces, estas situaciones difíciles pueden hacer que se pregunte: "¿Soy
lo suficientemente bueno?" o "¿Por qué yo?" lo cual puede conducir pensamientos depresivos,
ansiedad e incluso estrés traumático. Juntos, trabajaremos para descubrir las heridas que
podrían haber contribuido a las dificultades que le causaron complicaciones para alcanzar la
forma deseada de sentir, pensar, comportarse y vivir.
Me apasiona empoderar a mis clientes para que recuperen el control de su vida. Mi cliente
ideal es aquel que tiene la mente abierta a nuevas herramientas y perspectivas sobre sí mismo.
Un cliente que se sienta frustrado por ciclos repetidos de los mismos comportamientos,
relaciones y resultados. Promuevo un espacio seguro para que mis clientes tengan la
oportunidad de ser auténticos.
Tengo educación en salud mental clínica, atención informada sobre traumas, incluida la terapia
de entrenamiento y reprocesamiento de desensibilización por movimientos oculares (EMDR),
terapia conductual cognitiva y entrevistas motivacionales.
El cambio, el procesamiento, el crecimiento y la curación no son fáciles. Usted marca el ritmo
de su viaje de sanación.

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking Associate Marriage and Family therapist (AMFT). I am a secondgeneration Hispanic and have an intuitive understanding of the unique issues faced by our diverse culture and understand the significance of culture itself in the mental health space. Regardless of our roots or cultural background, each individual develops a unique impression of life based on personal experiences. Many times, the very same things, or people that have once brought us the most joy, fail to meet our personal expectations and the gap between our expectations and reality often leave us with sadness, resentment, and guilt. I firmly believe in the power of therapy to promote resilience, fresh perspectives and as a result, every connection made in therapy is part of the journey toward a positive transformation. Therapy is a beautiful process, it invites us to feel when perhaps feeling wasn’t encouraged or accepted, create awareness, and challenge our own assumptions. We are not meant to navigate life alone--collaboratively we can explore each of these elements and stretch your capacity to navigate challenging relationships and circumstances. With a passion for strong communication in relationships and a focus on Marriage & Family Therapy, my therapeutic approach incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Person-Centered Therapy. Inviting awareness to the things that hang us up in life shed light to different perspectives and provides peaceful restoration in personal relationships and healing. As I continue my journey as a therapist, I remain committed to empowering families and individuals from all walks of life find strength in their vulnerabilities, achieve a sense of wholeness, foster understanding, and nurture lasting change in their lives. Having experienced my own pain and sat with others in theirs, I would be honored to support you in your journey to overcome depression, anxiety, family dynamics and all other challenges that are getting in the way of living your most wholesome life.
