I am a queer, second-generation immigrant Latine psychotherapist who partners with folks to navigate the demands of a society that is so often limiting and oppressive to us. I'm passionate about working with adults that were parentified as children, grew up in dysfunctional family systems, and BIPOC and queer adults that have historically felt "different." Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down and become curious about what in ourselves might need our attention. As you embark on this journey toward self-awareness, I will collaborate with you to turn toward the parts of yourself that have been disowned or burdened by pain.

Holistic Healing with Creative Arts Therapies: If traditional talk therapy, yoga, or self-help apps haven’t provided relief from stress, anxiety, depression, or grief, consider a different approach.

Creative arts therapies can help you explore and express yourself in new ways, gaining insights unique to the creative process.
