Hi, I’m Ana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering virtual therapy for adults (18+) across Colorado. I specialize in trauma and post-traumatic stress, high-functioning anxiety, depression, and stress related to marginalized identities.

I am a process-oriented therapist, which means I value slowing down, staying curious, and engaging in deeper “root work” rather than focusing on quick fixes. My approach is primarily somatic and “bottom-up,” meaning we work with your body and nervous system to support healing, build awareness, and strengthen your connection to yourself. In addition to somatic therapy, I integrate trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), coherence therapy, narrative therapy, and systems-based perspectives. This means we explore not only your internal experiences, but also the impact of relationships, family dynamics, culture, and broader societal systems on your mental health.

Our work together is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to you—your experiences, your identities, and what feels most supportive. We will explore your symptoms with curiosity, honor the ways you’ve learned to survive, and gently uncover the deeper emotional patterns beneath them. Sessions balance meaningful exploration with practical tools you can apply in your daily life.

As a neurodivergent, first-generation Latina, I understand the importance of culturally responsive, identity-affirming care. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that centers culture, intersectionality, and the broader systemic factors that shape mental health.

Above all, I value authenticity and realness. I bring my esencia—my essence—along with humor, compassion, and humanity into each session. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to show up fully as yourself.
