If you are navigating the quiet weight of relationship wounds, identity

questions, or emotional patterns that have followed you for years without

fully understanding why, I specialize in exactly this kind of work. I am a

Latina therapist who provides services in Spanish and English, bringing a

culturally affirming lens to every session. I practice in Santa Clarita with

specialized tools including Brainspotting and IFS for deeper healing.

Aaron Diaz

Therapist

Virtual • California


If anxiety, depression, or past trauma feels like a constant burden, you don’t have to carry it alone. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy as a powerful, evidence-based approach to help you move past what’s holding you back — whether that’s past trauma, addictive patterns, or persistent emotional pain.

I hold a Masters in Marriage and Family therapy ( LMFT), my Doctorate in Social Work and specialized training in EMDR. Over my 13 years in practice, I have supported clients across a range of mental health and addiction settings — outpatient clinics, private practice, intensive treatment programs, etc.

My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment. I deeply believe in your capacity to heal and grow — even when it may feel impossible now.
