Discover the Depths Within

At Inner Worlds Psychotherapy, we guide you to explore your inner world, heal old wounds, and step into your most authentic self.

If you’re a millennial woman who’s always putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling like you’re never “enough,” I see you. If you grew up with emotionally immature parents, you might carry wounds that leave you feeling unheard, unseen, or constantly seeking approval.

As a psychotherapist specializing in ketamine-assisted therapy and hypnotherapy, I help you explore the depths of your inner world to heal these wounds at their root. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, reconnect you with your authentic self, and create a life where you feel safe to have needs, set boundaries, and truly thrive.

You don’t have to keep overgiving, overworking, or shrinking yourself to fit into someone else’s expectations. Let’s begin your journey toward freedom, peace, and wholeness.

My Approach

My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, integrative approach that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I weave together somatics, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, ACT, psychodynamics, and psychedelic-assisted therapy with a deep respect for the mystical and spiritual dimensions of healing.

As an integrative spiritual psychotherapist, I see through a shamanic lens, which means I don’t approach healing in a linear way. Instead, I trust in the wisdom of the Spirit/Universe and follow the lead of the Divine within you—your inner healing intelligence. Just as your body knows how to heal, so does your psyche. My role is to guide you in reconnecting with this innate wisdom.

I believe in the guidance of Spirit/Universe, and will always follow the lead of the Divine within you: your inner healing intelligence. Just as the body can heal without any directives, so does the psyche, this is your inner healing intelligence.

Therapy, in my view, is a synergetic and collaborative experience. You are the expert of your own inner world, and I am here to walk beside you as we co-create a more awakened, whole version of yourself. Together, we’ll tap into your inner resilience and healing resources, helping you move toward the life you were always meant to live.

Licensed in NY & NJ | Certified in hypnotherapy, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy | Serving Westchester, NY, and beyond

I identify as Chicana (Mexican-American). My full name, Citlalicue, comes from the indigenous Aztec language, Nahuatl. Citlalicue is the Aztec goddess of the stars and the cosmos, associated with the creation of stars, the Milky Way, Earth, and the profound cycles of life, death, and darkness.

I feel deeply connected to my name, as Citlalicue’s energy and wisdom resonate in my work. Her presence reminds me of the vastness of the human spirit and the transformative power of embracing both light and shadow.
