People enter into therapy for many reasons. Often the catalyst is difficulty with a relationship, a job, or a way of coping. Anxiety and depression can provide the stimulus to seek help. When they intrude into everyday waking consciousness they are indicators that something is out of balance and needs to be addressed. Areas of particular interest within my practice are parent-child difficulties, especially the early stages of parenting; relationships; finding one's voice and inner authority; creativity; grief and loss; and the struggle to live one's own life.

Our deepest Self is good, creative and generative; we are beautiful and resilient beings, an integration of body, mind, spirit, and ancestry. Yet sometimes life’s challenges sabotage our joy or interrupt our purpose, leaving us feeling anxious, grieved, or manifesting destructive thought and behavioral patterns. These challenges are the daily demands of navigating our chaotic world, but sometimes include other traumas such as violence, abuse, or family and inter-generational wounds.

I am a proud queer femme first-generation Oaxaqueña residing in Los Angeles. I'm a sex worker rights organizer, a reluctant PhD student, and an abolitionist social worker. There is a special place in my heart for providing affirming, informed services to sex workers of any kind! My greatest issue with traditional therapy is approaches that merely train people to cope with harmful systems with little acknowledgment of the crushing weight of racial capitalism. Therefore, my approach to treatment is based on harm reduction, relying on community networks, and allowing care to start from within.

I believe that everyone wants to be let off their own hook. Oftentimes, we have been taught that there is something inherently wrong with us, both in our family systems and in society as a whole. By exploring and dismantling internalized, destructive beliefs around self-worth and value, my clients and I collaborate to instill value from within. When we are able to act from a place of self-knowing, self-love, and self-compassion, we are able to show up authentically in our relationships and in the world at large, enjoying the fruits of our emotional labor by living a life we might not have always thought possible for ourselves.

Being human is hard. Sometimes, it can feel like we’re running in circles or sleepwalking through life on auto-pilot with racing thoughts that clutter the mind and paralyze the spirit. Overwhelmed by the weight of emptiness in the heart, but maybe already skipping or spiraling ahead to the next step to carry on with the performance of this existence because “everything is fine.” The show must go on, right? There may be limitations, even detrimental consequences to filling the void with excessive distractions. How did too much become never enough?

Therapy is an intimate collaboration in self-discovery, problem solving, and empowerment. By creating a consistent safe space, I aim to cultivate a meaningful therapeutic relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable and supported. This allows us to collaboratively create tailored solutions for symptom relief & personal growth. I appreciate serving folks who deal with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and intergenerational trauma. I work with my clients to uncover how patterns of past unresolved conflict may be unconsciously repeated and disruptive to their current well-being and interpersonal relationships.

Hello and welcome! I view mental health and its importance the same way that I view getting my car serviced; sometimes you go in just for a tune up and other times it requires more serious work. Either way, the service is beneficial and things start working a lot smoother afterwards. My goal is to create an environment that is safe and non-judgemental so clients feel comfortable disclosing whatever is on their hearts and minds. Clients come to me with a variety of concerns/needs ranging from relationship issues, stress, anxiety to simply needing a sounding board. Whatever the concern may be, you are welcome.

Our lives are like pieces of a puzzle. How we choose to put them together is among the most important decisions we make. Effective therapeutic work begins when you and/or your child are ready to explore the areas of your life that would benefit from personal growth and change. As a caring change agent, I have successfully helped kids, teens, families, young professionals and adults through trying growth periods.

Why do people seek therapy? They want to feel better. They want to improve their relationships. They want support in times of loss and transition. A search for insight and personal growth are also reasons. With over 25 years of clinical experience I have an approach that would help you find answer to these issues. Each person brings a unique story to therapy, and I draw from various therapeutic processes utilizing insight, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help them gain insight and feel better about their life.
