About Luz
Before her current role, she spent many years in community mental health settings and developed hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns, including severe mood disorders and substance use challenges. That background shapes how she sees problems and what she brings into sessions.
Her style is straightforward and interactive. She combines insight about past patterns with practical tools for change. Sessions often include gentle reflection about attachment and relationships alongside exercises to shift thoughts and behaviors. Motivational strategies are used when people want help building or keeping healthy habits.
Luz encourages people to notice their own strengths and to try small, concrete steps between sessions. She asks clients to think about goals and to work at a pace that feels doable. Evening appointments are offered, and she asks people to check her published schedule and book times that fit.
If someone is ready to try therapy, Luz invites them to take the first step and reach out so they can start planning a path forward together.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. In practical terms this means talking about relationship history, noticing patterns that repeat, and trying small changes in how someone relates to others to reduce distress and increase connection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and test new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often include short experiments or exercises to try between meetings and simple steps to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luz treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts strategies together.
Confirm the current online session options before booking to know exactly which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to meet during evenings. Some formats also lend themselves to shorter check-ins or to not using video when that better fits someone’s routine. Licensed professionals can help arrange a cadence that fits work, school, and family commitments.
