I help Latina Women move away from trauma to healing through the use of EMDR therapy. My clients say that EMDR therapy has helped them move past their traumas. As an Trauma Therapist I help Latinas go beyond talk therapy by processing traumatic events with the use of rapid eye movements, sounds or tapping.
EMDR helps clients unlock memories that are often stored and locked deep in their minds. EMDR therapy helps clients address unhelpful thoughts about themselves of the world with the help of a trained therapist.
Release What is Holding You Back and Begin Moving Toward Peace
When working with me as an EMDR Therapist we will meet weekly and track progress every 5 sessions. Clients have stated that they enjoy working with me as they can open up in a safe place without fear of being judged. They appreciate that I get what it means to be a Latina and how the Latinx culture plays a role in our lives. Clients that have completed EMDR therapy have stated that they felt faster progress than with typical talk therapy as EMDR gets to the core issues of trauma. Although, EMDR can be an intense trauma therapy modality, the outcomes that my clients usually see are improvements in their self-care, self-esteem, mood and relationships. They often report feeling “ like I was able to leave my past where it belongs in the past “, and “feeling lighter as I am no longer carrying what is not mine” when it came to generational trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Therapy
-
EMDR therapy, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. I guide you through a structured process using bilateral stimulation, often eye movements, that allows painful experiences to be stored in a healthier way. You do not have to talk through every detail for it to work.
-
I offer EMDR therapy online to clients throughout California, including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Upland, and Fontana. Because sessions are online, you can meet with me from wherever you feel most comfortable, whether that is your home, your car, or anywhere private. No commute, no waiting room.
-
EMDR therapy is well known a a trauma therapy, and it is also genuinely effective for anxiety and burnout. I work specifically with Latina women who are carrying the weight of chronic stress, overwhelming worry, or the kind of exhaustion that does not go away with rest. All three of these struggles respond well to EMDR.
-
Your first session is really about getting to know each other and making sure you feel safe. I will ask about what brings you in, what you are hoping to feel differently about, and a bit about your history. We do not dive into trauma processing right away. I take time to build the foundation first so the work can actually hold. We build coping skills and safety in sesssion before we dive into trauma.
-
As a Latina Therapist, I bring both clinical training in EMDR therapy and a personal understanding of the cultural pressures many Latina women carry, including family expectations, the push to always be strong, and the guilt that comes with putting yourself first. My work is informed by that lived context, not just textbook knowledge.
-
It really depends on what you are working through. Some clients notice a shift within 3-5 sessions; others work with me over several months. I do not use a one-size-fits-all timeline. We check in regularly and move at a pace that feels manageable for you, because rushing trauma processing rarely helps. I tailor my therapy approach to your unique needs.
-
Yes, I offer EMDR therapy entirely online to clients across California. Research and clinical experience both support online EMDR as effective. Many of my clients actually find it easier to go deep in a familiar, comfortable space. All you need is a private spot, a reliable internet connection, and a willingness to show up.
