“Hello, my name is Itzel, and I am a bilingual Licensed Social Worker specializing in EMDR therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and create more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I work with clients to better understand the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape their lives. I specialize in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy that can help process trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, and other emotional difficulties. Together, we will explore both past and present experiences while building practical tools to support your growth and well-being.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood, empowered, and connected to your strengths as you move toward the life you envision for yourself.
