Expect a diverse toolbox to help re-author your unique story, incorporating techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, insights from your upbringing, option for EMDR for trauma, and solution-focused therapies.
Therapy is a space that is both engaging and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can access therapy as a means to enrich your life. I come from a unique cultural background, being half Salvadorian and half Filipino, a first-generation child of immigrant parents, and part of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse cultural influences have significantly shaped my personal identity and professional development. This journey of straddling multiple cultures has taught me the richness of our intersectional identities and how we all engage with the world through a complex web of lived experiences.

I also assist in your healing process by utilizing CBT, mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

I utilize Gottman Method, Mindfulness, CBT-TF, DBT, EMDR, and IFS.
We all can feel overwhelmed & fear based when dealing with life's transitions, obstacles & everyday hiccups. This can wreak havoc on our interpersonal relationships, self-worth, and lovability at times when we go into giver and taker roles, unconsciously. Life is amplified when we harness our authentic values, trust our intuition to say no, & effectively communicate in a way that allows us to connect deeply to self & others. I love working with couples who are ready to heal their inner children together & align with their higher purpose to create something optimal together.
