As a Latina immigrant and a single mother, my life has been a journey marked by resilience and unwavering determination, shaping both my personal and professional identity. I’ve wholeheartedly embraced my cultural heritage and life experiences, which have led me to become a trauma-informed psychotherapist with a profound understanding of the complexities of healing and personal growth.

Psychotherapy is a compassionate and effective treatment for mental and emotional well-being. Through collaborative conversations, individuals gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and learn strategies to manage them effectively. At Urban Summit Psychotherapy, we prioritize helping individuals understand their emotions and psychosomatic experiences, which refer to the connection between the mind and body. Therapists create a safe space for individuals to explore and express their emotions, using empathetic listening and skill-building techniques to address challenges. Psychotherapy is highly effective in treating various concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and relationship problems. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms, individuals can address the root causes of distress and develop healthier coping strategies. Integrating this understanding empowers individuals to make positive changes and improve their overall quality of life.
