Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past experiences, or challenges within your family? Maybe you're a parent worried about your child's emotions or behavior, or someone trying to make sense of grief, trauma, or difficult relationships. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. ¡Hola! I'm L.J., a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who works with children ages 5+, teens, adults, and families. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, and the challenges of balancing different cultures, identities, and expectations. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an elementary school teacher and in community health. Those experiences taught me how deeply our families, cultures, schools, and life experiences shape our emotional well-being. Today, I bring that understanding into therapy, creating a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach combines compassion, cultural understanding, and practical strategies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), CBT, and DBT-informed techniques. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or someone you love, I'd be honored to help you take the next step toward healing, connection, and growth.
