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.
Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others.
With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help partners move out of reactive cycles and toward greater safety, trust, and connection. With individuals, I draw from EMDR, IFS, and EFIT to support healing from trauma, anxiety, stress, and relational wounds.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more secure—both within yourself and in your relationships.
