ABOUT ME
EXPERIENCE
I am passionate about the mind/body/spirituality relationship, nutritional psychology, trauma work, and human resiliency. My love for all things mental health and wellbeing led me to complete an internship delivering preventative, primary, and acute care services at Denver Health Hospital and Authority. Throughout this time, I provided psychological services to individuals suffering from chronic medical illnesses, severe eating disorders, substance use, grief and loss, gender identity issues, and painful psychological trauma. Moreover, I gained additional therapeutic experience working at the Miami VA Medical Center's Behavioral Health Department, the University of Miami’s Dept. of Neuropsychology, Baptist Medical Center’s First Choice Neurology, and Oliver-Pyatt Eating Disorder Treatment Center.
GET TO KNOW ME
I am a bilingual (Spanish-English), Clinical Health Psychologist. As a Health Psychologist, I examine how biological, social, and psychological issues influence your overall wellbeing. In other words, I consider all of you.
As a first-generation Latina, I am highly focused on how context and the larger systems impact your identity; choosing interventions that match your worldviews and lived-experiences. I have a powerful ability to sit with your story, no matter how painful it may be, and hold the space you need to process and heal. Having walked alongside many survivors of trauma of all kinds, I carry unshakable confidence in your ability to break through and thrive, regardless of your life story.
Working with me invites you to move beyond “good enough” and achieve deep lasting self-agency.
