Hola, I'm Sheila!
As a first-generation Latina immigrant woman, my journey has been shaped by both the richness of diverse cultural influences and the challenges of assimilation. These lived experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the complexities that come with navigating multiple cultural worlds.
Along the way, I’ve encountered transformative moments—especially within relationships shaped by family dynamics and cultural expectations. Facing these challenges sparked a profound exploration of my own family patterns and cultural roots, fostering invaluable growth, resilience, and insight that now inform the way I support others.
“Together, we’ll explore the family stories, cultural influences, and personal histories that shape your relationships, creating space for new understanding and meaningful change.”
In my practice, I put people and relationships at the heart of the work. I specialize in Couples Therapy Intensives, offering a focused and transformative space where partners can address longstanding challenges, deepen their connection, and create lasting change.
With a warm, culturally attuned approach, I help couples and individuals explore how family legacies, cultural expectations, and personal histories shape their relationships. Drawing from both my lived experience and professional expertise as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I guide clients through meaningful self-discovery, equipping them to move forward with clarity, resilience, and renewed connection.
My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, respect, and a deep trust in each person’s natural capacity to heal and grow.
