You're on a merry-go-round of your thoughts, with the fake horses as concerns about school/work and your relationships. As much as you try to do everything right, something can still go wrong. Or, you've tried to tell the story in English, but it just doesn’t translate when you talk about growing up Latinx in the US. I’m a first generation Latinx therapist creating space for individuals to experience radical self-compassion. My style is warm and authentic, with some humor. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and generational differences within Latinx culture. I support clients through better understanding
where ideas about themselves and their relationships have come from and how they want to approach these areas moving forward. I sit with clients as they experience difficult emotions, listen to what others have not been able to hear, and guide clients to connect with their responsibility to themselves, self-worth, and cope with the realities of life. I value
the impact of culture and provide a safe space for individuals to express themselves fully, specifically as a bilingual and LBGTQIA+ affirming therapist. I use interventions based on emotion-focused, psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic theories and therapy. I provide individual therapy to adults in CA via video sessions only.
