Hi, my name is Alyn (ah-leen) and I am a Latina therapist and fully bilingual in Spanish and English. My areas of specialty include childhood trauma resolution, interpersonal relationship issues and cultural identity challenges. My therapy constitutes a playful, warm, empathic and experiential approach to personal growth. I love using expressive arts and music in sessions and welcome laughter as much as tears. Safety is the priority in trauma healing and I aim to focus on your needs while at the same time get you comfortable with the uncomfortable. I most commonly draw upon perspectives that focus on mindfulness and acceptance, and mainly use IFS, EMDR and somatic approaches.

I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Edward’s University (CACREP Accredited Program). I have experience working in a local non-profit that serves survivors of complex trauma. This is a cause I am passionate about and it has allowed me to work closely with immigrant and Latinx/Hispanic survivors. My identity and life story has shaped my passion to support the populations I serve, and it has motivated me to offer social justice oriented, culturally affirming and inclusive therapeutic services.

I enjoy helping others from a holistic, strengths-based perspective and I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families who are looking to define their identity and have a chance to tell their story. I also love working with neurodivergent and queer clients of all ages. I aim to empower my clients to create space, balance, time, and strength to process and embrace their needs.

In other parts of my life, I enjoy anime, video games, music, art and Halloween season. I like to read and listen to great works from different cultures and love traveling to new places.
