About Dr. Vaughn

With over 10 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, from children to adolescents and adults. As a Latina child of immigrants, I deeply understand the unique struggles faced by individuals from immigrant families. I recognize that seeking therapy as a child of immigrants can be intimidating and anxiety-provoking, and I am committed to providing a safe and welcoming space where you can freely express yourself without judgment. My overarching goal is to help individuals thrive emotionally, mentally, and professionally. I approach this goal by addressing mental health challenges, enhancing personal dynamics, promoting healthy organizational culture, and raising awareness about the intersection of immigration and mental health.
