Hi, I’m Nadia!

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 106491)
Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist
EFT Supervisor Candidate
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected in your relationships. I’m here to help you slow down, reconnect, and heal in a way that honors your lived experience.
I offer trauma-informed and attachment-focused therapy for individuals and couples, helping them navigate stress, build stronger connections, and find paths to personal and relational growth.
As a Puerto Rican and Mexican woman of color, I bring a social justice and anti-oppression lens to therapy, prioritizing a culturally humble approach. We'll explore how your individual identities and core values connect within your relationships.
My clients are couples going through significant life changes, those who are seeking to repair their bond and rebuild trust, or navigating the complexities of intercultural relationships. You might be struggling with communication barriers, conflicting values, or unresolved hurts that have created distance and misunderstanding. You want to strengthen their partnership, learn to see each other more clearly, and foster a secure and loving connection.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma, ongoing stress, or burnout from their personal or professional life. You may have tried to cope on their own, but now realize you need support in processing your experiences and finding sustainable ways to manage your emotional and mental well-being. You want to feel understood, safe, and heard without judgment.
My clients are motivated by the hope of living a more fulfilled and connected life. You are ready to invest in your growth, explore new perspectives, and embrace the changes needed to achieve your goals.
Who I work with
How I help
In therapy, you can expect a compassionate and supportive environment where we will work together to understand and heal the impacts of trauma, stress, and burnout. I incorporate Emotionally Focused Couples & Individual Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), E.M.D.R., and mindfulness as foundational approaches in our sessions.
For those seeking couples therapy:
Relationships can bring deep joy—but they can also leave us feeling stuck or disconnected. Many partnerships find themselves caught in reactive patterns: one person pulls away or escalates, and suddenly you’re both in a cycle that feels hard to break. In therapy, we’ll slow things down and explore these patterns together, helping you understand what’s happening and begin shifting how you relate.
Often, beneath conflict are deeper feelings and needs—like wanting to feel safe, valued, or seen. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you access and share those more vulnerable emotions that can get buried in the moment. As you learn to express what’s underneath, you’ll create more empathy, connection, and trust.
My goal is to help you feel more secure in your relationship. Therapy offers a space to be open and honest without fear of judgment. Whether you’re facing conflict, change, or just want to reconnect, I’ll support you in building the relationship you want.
Together, we’ll practice new ways of communicating that support lasting change. You’ll leave therapy with tools to stay connected and compassionate—even in hard moments—so you can face challenges as a team instead of feeling alone.
For those seeking individual therapy:
If you’ve experienced trauma, you may carry parts of yourself that feel stuck in the past—parts that hold pain, fear, anger, or exhaustion. These responses aren’t flaws; they’re powerful survival strategies. I use EMDR, IFS, and EFIT to gently help you reconnect with these parts and begin healing in a way that feels safe, supported, and empowering.
Our work begins by creating a steady, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. EMDR helps process overwhelming memories that may still feel “alive” in your body, while IFS and EFIT guide us in exploring the emotional needs and protective roles within you. Together, we’ll slow things down and listen closely to what your inner system is trying to tell us—without judgment or pressure.
This process isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about honoring what you’ve lived through and supporting you in feeling more whole. As we work, you’ll begin to unburden the parts of you that have been holding so much and build a stronger, more grounded connection to yourself.
Over time, many clients experience greater clarity, emotional ease, and self-trust. You’ll leave therapy with tools to soothe overwhelm, shift old patterns, and move through life with more resilience, authenticity, and connection.
