Meet Lara
Licensed Professional counselor, ma, ms
Hi! I am Lara, I was born in Mexico City and raised in a small town about 40 minutes away called Cuernavaca, its meaning is “the place of eternal spring”. Ever since I can remember I wanted to study psychology. I have always been so interested in the human psyche and feel a deep interest in knowing why people act, feel and think the way they do. And listening to people’s stories has always been one of the most interesting things I could do.
I studied psychology in Mexico City and then continued on to do a masters degree in Psychoanalysis. Shortly after, my husband and I moved to Florida where I pursued another masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 and have seen people with different issues since then.
I have worked with people through all walks of life and in different settings, from community homes, to psychiatric hospitals and prisons but my true love is in private practice helping moms become the best version of themselves.
As a side hustle, I also have a nutrition coaching practice where I also help busy moms become the healthiest they can be while solving their gut issues.
I am a mom of 3 kiddos and a funky mini Bernedoodle. On my free time I enjoy CrossFit, running and cooking.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting women through some of the hardest and most transformative seasons of their lives — from navigating anxiety, burnout, and loss, to healing from trauma, relationship challenges, and the daily overwhelm that comes with trying to do it all. Many of the women I work with are mothers who love their families deeply, yet feel stretched thin, unseen, and unsure how to take care of themselves in the process.
As a bilingual therapist, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, creating a space that honors your culture, your story, and the language that feels most like home.
I currently offer therapy exclusively online, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space — no commute, no extra logistics, just a space that’s yours.
My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and empowering space where you can exhale, reconnect with yourself, and find tools that truly work in your real life. Whether you’re learning to manage anxiety, rediscovering who you are beyond motherhood, or rebuilding confidence after a major life change, we’ll walk this path together — one step at a time, toward balance, peace, and self-trust.
