Professional statement

Luisa is passionate about working with adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, and self-esteem. She also enjoys supporting clients who are exploring personal identity, healing from childhood wounds, or seeking greater balance in their lives. Luisa works with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds and is committed to creating a therapeutic environment that honors each client's unique story, values, and goals.

Luisa’s therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. She integrates psychodynamic therapy with mindfulness practices, somatic approached, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and relational work to help clients deepen self-awareness and foster meaningful change. Luisa believes therapy is a space for both exploration and empowerment, offering clients the tools and insights needed to navigate life’s complexities with greater self-trust and resilience. Her work is guided by the belief that healing unfolds in the context of authentic connection and compassion.

She brings a deep respect for the diverse lived experiences of her clients, and her professional background includes work in outpatient mental health clinics, community-based organizations, and wellness centers. She works with individuals and couples both virtually and in person.


Message to clients

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. My hope is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—where you can show up just as you are. I believe that healing happens in relationship, and together we will work toward understanding your experiences, strengthening your inner resources, and moving toward the life you want to live.

Before we begin, I encourage you to come as openly as you feel ready to. Therapy is a collaborative process, and there is no "right" way to show up—your pace, your questions, and your voice matter here. I am committed to meeting you with compassion, curiosity, and respect, and to tailoring our work to fit your unique needs and goals. Wherever you are starting from, I am honored to walk alongside you.
