About

~ Welcome to Joy and Resilience~ Hola! Therapy is a space curated to meet you where you are at as we navigate the whirlwind that life can be. It is a space for empowerment, learning new tools, and perhaps exploring different perspectives. Each session will be a collaboration and I hope to support individuals to become more in-tune with themselves and explore their emotions, thoughts, habits, identity, self-esteem and more through a non-judgmental space. I am a proud bilingual Latina therapist and founder of this practice. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and trauma informed approaches to holistically address each person. Through this interdisciplinary approach we can find creative interventions that will provide you with the tools to mitigate the challenges you may be currently facing. Together we will explore system experiences through a multicultural lens, explore and honor your story, and build introspective insight. Any and all identities are welcome here! I have a wide range of experiences working with individuals (ages 6+) experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management, interpersonal relationships, career changes/choices, life transitions, and/or other challenges at work, home, or school. At this time Joy and Resilience Psychotherapy LLC is only accepting adult clients. Seeking therapy takes courage and vulnerability and I look forward to walking beside you. Your life. Your story. Your space to grow. *Appointments only available on Mondays* *Available for in-person or virtual sessions*
