About Bertha
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My practice centers on women’s mental health, with a deep understanding of multicultural experiences and family dynamics. I bring expertise in addressing communication challenges, body image concerns, postpartum experiences, and immigration-related stress.
My bilingual background in English and Spanish allows me to connect authentically with diverse communities. I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences of guilt, shame, and personal growth. My approach honors each individual’s unique cultural context and lived experiences.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients navigating family of origin issues, codependency, eating-related challenges, and complex interpersonal dynamics. My goal is to empower individuals to develop healthier relationships, stronger self-understanding, and meaningful personal transformation.
