Lillian is a compassionate bilingual therapist committed to helping clients live more meaningful lives. She believes that each person is on a unique journey, and her role is to help clients design the path they want to follow. Lillian draws from various therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, to foster personal growth and transformation. Lillian works with clients with a range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, work/life challenges and transitions, perfectionism, relationship concerns, life purpose and OCD, among others.

With her own experience navigating life between cultures, Lillian has a strong appreciation for the challenges and opportunities that come with adapting to new cultural contexts. She works well with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them manage the unique challenges of cultural adjustment, identity, and belonging.

Lillian enjoys working with women at all stages of motherhood- whether they're trying to conceive, preparing for a new arrival, or adjusting to life as a new mom. Her focus is on helping mothers prioritize their emotional well-being while navigating the many transitions and challenges of this role. 

Lillian sees therapy as an opportunity for clients to explore new possibilities and develop practical tools for lasting change. Her warm and welcoming approach creates a safe space where clients can freely express their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She takes a holistic view, considering both mind and body, along with external influences, to better understand and address life’s challenges.

Originally from Mexico City, Lillian spent time growing up in both Mexico and the United States. Lillian offers therapy in English or Spanish. She earned her Bachelor's in Psychology and Master's in Clinical Psychology in Mexico City, with a focus on Systemic and Postmodern Therapy. Her multicultural background allows her to adapt her therapy to meet each client’s unique needs.

Español:

Soy una terapeuta bilingüe, dedicada a crear caminos en los cuales las personas puedan habitar nuevas identidades que honren aquello que es importante para ellas. Trabajo desde una postura de curiosidad y respeto, considerando a las personas como expertas en sus propias vidas. Con esto en mente, busco formular preguntas que generen movimiento y amplifiquen habilidades, fortalezas y recursos personales.

Intento crear un espacio seguro y libre de juicios, en el cual mis consultantes puedan explorar abiertamente sus pensamientos, emociones y comportamientos. Asimismo, los ayudo a desarrollar habilidades y estrategias prácticas que fomenten un cambio duradero en sus vidas.
