About Pajaro Azul Psychotherapy
No matter how much we try to suppress our pain, our truest emotions always desire to fly free. Pajaro Azul Psychotherapy aims to provide a comfortable space to unmask and discover your authentic self, the place where your vulnerability can take flight.
​
Author Charles Bukowski’s poem Bluebird (Pajaro Azul) serves as a powerful analogy for emotional suppression and vulnerability in psychotherapy. The poem portrays the "bluebird" as a symbol of Bukowski’s softer, more vulnerable emotions—tenderness, sadness, and longing for connection—which he keeps hidden under layers of toughness, cynicism, and self-destructive habits. This parallels the experience of many clients who repress their authentic emotions due to societal conditioning, trauma, or fear of rejection, only allowing brief glimpses of their true selves in moments of isolation, impulsivity, or self-harm.
​
Bluebird (Pajaro Azul) speaks to the universal struggle between self-protection and emotional honesty, reminding us that no matter how much we try to suppress our pain, our truest emotions always find a way to surface.

A bit more about me personally
As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent daughter of Cuban immigrants, I understand the challenges of feeling misunderstood, out of place, and rejected. My personal experiences with trauma, chronic illness, and chronic pain deepen my empathy and enrich my trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based approach. My clients often struggle with impulsivity, emotional regulation, sadness, and feelings of emptiness. Yet, they also love deeply, care for others, and possess remarkable creativity and resilience.
