Hi! Hola! I am Suyapa (she/ella), a Spanglish bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR and Brainspotting therapist, and eldest daughter of immigrant parents. With over 14 years of experience supporting BIPOC and Latine/Latinx individuals, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to this work.

I grew up in a household where disability, addiction, and mental health struggles were part of our everyday reality—and silence was often the unspoken rule. As the older sister of a disabled sibling and another navigating substance misuse, I know firsthand what it’s like to carry responsibility early, to feel unseen, and to be the strong one when no one checks on you.

Therapy became a space where I began to unpack my own grief, guilt, and generational pain—and that healing now shapes how I show up for others.

At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to holding space for those who are often expected to hold everything for everyone else. My style is warm, direct, humorous and affirming. I integrate trauma-informed care, social justice, cultural humility, and healing modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic work to support your healing from the inside out.

I’m 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, and committed to decolonizing therapy. Whether you're navigating family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, identity exploration, or caregiver burnout—I’m here to hold space for your story with empathy, nuance, and care.

I currently offer virtual therapy sessions for adults located in California, Nevada, and Florida. Healing is possible—on your terms, in your time, and without having to leave your home.
