Get to Know Me
Hi there!
​
I'm Andrea and I'm a Latinx psychotherapist currently practicing virtually in the state of California and Maryland. I am an advocate for destigmatizing mental health myths one conversation at a time. I support my clients in learning about their behaviors through a strengths-based lens as I believe most behaviors make sense if we pay attention. Together we we will explore emotional patterns, uncover your needs, and let go of shame and fear to reclaim your inherent sense of self-worth.
​
Since we're all human, I recognize that talking about the difficulties can be overwhelming, raw, and uncomfortable. I will be here with you so you don't have to do it alone. I hope therapy with me will allow you to have an open and safe space to get the support you deserve.
