The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term patterns of narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with people on topics such as anxiety, OCD, trauma, multiracial identity, gender, and relationships including romantic and parental. Oftentimes religion and spirituality and sex and sexuality, come up in my work. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today.

Although the energy of transition and healing is in the air for so many of us, undergoing the initial steps towards seeking support can be difficult. Thank you for leaning into this process and exploring some of the ways we may be able to work and move in partnership towards a space of spiritual, emotional, and mental wellness. During our initial sessions, we will focus on weaving together, the elements of your lived experience that inform your current thought process; the identities that inform how you move through the world; and which will ultimately support in outlining a set of intentions and goals for our time together.

The challenge of overcoming a personal trauma may seem overwhelming in itself; The additional burden of navigating a chaotic and sometimes harsh world may make healing feel impossible. I understand the importance of addressing the intersection of both the person and environment. As a queer, non-binary, first-generation Latinx therapist, I bring a compassionate and affirming approach to our therapeutic journey. I approach therapy with humor and kindness, honoring and empowering your voice, while gently challenging any patterns you may be stuck in.

I believe that genuine relationships have the power to heal. And the relationship between a client and therapist is a particularly unique bond. Irvin Yalom has described this relationship as one of 'fellow travelers' on an adventure of mutual growth and discovery. As your fellow traveler, I’ll stand alongside you as an active collaborator on your journey. My hope is that together we can uncover the most expansive and alive version of yourself. Together we will create a space where all parts of you are welcome. As women and queer people, we’re often conditioned to think there are fragments of ourselves that must remain hidden.

We all have our own negative thought patterns that impact our confidence, self-esteem, and mental health. What ideas and beliefs do you have about yourself? Perhaps those beliefs are causing you to be stressed, anxious, or depressed. Together, we can discover your unique thought patterns, become aware of their impact, and start to replace them with more motivating and realistic self-talk. We can also begin to understand how your emotions show up in your body and how they might be impacting different areas of your life.

I understand that society can be an individualistic and judgmental place where it can be hard to get our needs met and sometimes even know what our needs are. Because of that, life can sometimes be an overstimulating and overwhelming experience. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space to unpack previous and current experiences, explore your inner world, and find what brings you joy. Together, we will cultivate a safe space that is just yours that can be a break from the overstimulating and overwhelming experiences of everyday life.

I believe therapy is a space where you can unlock new understandings of your life and the world around you. Often, we find ourselves struggling with the recurring emotions, thoughts, and relational patterns. Through therapy, you can gain a stronger grasp of who you are and approach life with increased awareness. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing interpersonal and internal difficulties, navigating issues of gender and sexuality, coming-of-age, and life transitions. I also work with people who are struggling with substance use, mania, depression, and anxiety.

It can be especially tough navigating a world that can feel unsafe, judgmental, and unforgiving. Finding a safe and inviting space to explore those thoughts and feelings is crucial on the journey towards healing. In this space you can discover all aspects of your identity, and develop the coping skills to find self-acceptance, self-love, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
