More About Luisa

Luisa offers a warm and grounded space where clients can feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. She believes that the heart of effective therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and in feeling deeply understood. Her clients often describe her as calm, present, and easy to talk to — someone who meets them with genuine care and curiosity.

Luisa works with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, or relationship stress, helping them reconnect with their inner resilience and sense of peace. She brings a trauma-informed lens to every session, creating safety through compassion, clear pacing, and a deep respect for each person’s boundaries. Whether she’s supporting someone through trauma recovery, rebuilding connection in a relationship, or managing life transitions, her goal is to help clients feel empowered, capable, and emotionally regulated.

Her approach is intuitive, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Drawing from EMDR, Parts Work, CBT, and somatic awareness, Luisa helps clients process their experiences in both mind and body, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels steady and sustainable. With warmth and attunement, she guides clients to make sense of their stories, develop self-compassion, and build stronger, more fulfilling connections in their lives.
