I was introduced to Luisa by her brother in law roughly six years ago. Her demeanor struck me as easeful from the day we met. Luisa has exceptionally sophisticated interpersonal skills; Because she is and active and unhurried listener, our conversations flow so organically. She’s notably inquisitive in an instinctive, sensitive, and trustworthy way. She is also deeply reflective and real. I’d readily recommend her services to anyone in my network seeking support through a period of difficulty.

Over the years that I have know Luisa as a colleague I have gotten to see how she deftly works with clients. Luisa is insightful, warm and relatable. As a therapist who is fluent in Spanish and English she has place at the top of my referral list.

Sergio Broholm

I met Luisa over a decade ago in Mexico City. Our lives have changed significantly since then—moves, job changes, marriages, you name it—but Luisa’s friendship has remained a constant during all these years. Why? Because Luisa invests in her friendships and relationships wholeheartedly. Rain or shine, you can count on Luisa to lend an ear to listen, help you you see through your own BS when needed, or simply share a laugh to brighten your day. Her multi-cultural upbringing and experiences living in different parts of the world have shaped her into the compassionate, open and insightful person she is today. I’m always amazed by her ability to build and maintain community wherever she goes, and I’m confident that she’ll make a positive impact on those she meets!

People feel welcomed by her warmth and unaffected confidence, and she naturally creates an environment that inspires “realness.” I would whole-heartedly refer clients to her, knowing they will benefit from working with this brilliant, kind human.

I experience Luisa as an extremely kind, curious & culturally affirming therapist. She and I practiced together, and she is a very skilled clinician. I refer clients to her especially those who may have mixed cultural or ethnic backgrounds, looking to make sense of their identity and find their path.

I know Luisa from working with her in private practice. I've been consistently impressed with the way she approaches her work —with professionalism, compassion and care, and thoughtfulness. She balances insight/intellect with heart/body, exploration with support, and walks the line between abstract and concrete seamlessly. I recommend her highly.
