I respect each person's autonomy, culture, and identity. Clients are the experts in their own lives, and we work together to promote healing & growth.

My goal is to empower clients and promote personal growth. Through our collaboration, clients gain tools and insights to tackle challenges and achieve lasting change. Licensed as a LCSW in MD, DE, PA.

As a Latinx therapist, I advocate for community wellness using natural resources, mindfulness, and holistic health. I support diverse groups, including LGBTQ+ and sex-positive communities, creating a safe, inclusive space for healing and empowerment.

As a trauma-informed Latina therapist, I help individuals improve their mental well-being by using approaches that enhance their environment and sense of self. I empower them to access resources that are inclusive and available to everyone.

I became a therapist to harness the power of collective healing and to challenge the taboo surrounding therapy in many cultures every day.

My goal is not to "fix" my clients, but to empower them to heal with resources all around them and their way.

Esmeralda Wellness Haven was created as a tribute to my late grandmother, Esmeralda De La Cruz, a "curandera" or healing woman, who believed in healing by empowering communities to transform their own lives.
