My Story
Welcome, my name is Beatriz and I am a marriage and family therapist practitioner. My family immigrated from Mexico to the U.S., and I grew up in rural Minnesota. My professional background and my personal experiences inform my therapeutic work with couples, individuals, and families.
I believe that healing happens within individuals, relationships, and our communities.
Outside of therapy I enjoy reading fantasy/sci-fi books, walks with my dog, and eating spicy food.
My Approach to Therapy
My therapy approach is person-centered, authentic, and transparent. I integrate systems theory to help couples, individuals, and families navigate life stressors and complex relationships. My style is collaborative and based on emotionally focused practices to help clients move toward healing.
I am also conscientious of the impact that racism and oppression in the U.S. and beyond can have on individuals and relationships, and I incorporate liberation as a lens for healing ourselves and each other.
Our Work Together
I am passionate about working with couples that are dealing with conflicts related to loss of connection and intimacy, communication problems, navigating cultural expectations, affairs, loss of trust, finances, life transitions, LGBTQIA+, grief and loss. Couples can expect to work with me on identifying cycles of conflict, building intimacy, and creating a shared sense of purpose and fulfillment in their relationships.
Whatever phase of life you find yourself in, I welcome you to work with me toward healing and
shared purpose.
