I work with adolescents and adults on a wide range of challenges from general counseling and adjustment issues (feeling "stuck") to more clinical issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual issues. I focus on LGBT clients, particularly in the area of transgender identity, but have a diverse client base overall. I have experience working with clients that have issues related to polyamory, the kink community, and navigating these issues within relationships. I also have interns and supervisees that can see sliding scale clients from various populations.

I have over twenty years of experience working with a diverse client population all age groups, lesbian, gay, heterosexual and transgender.
If you are seeking therapy, you are taking an important first step towards creating the life you want both personally and professionally. Therapy can help you to explore your emotions, to find out what is keeping you from reaching your goals and also assist you in discovering and using your own natural strengths and gifts. I work with individuals, couples and families, those who are struggling during difficult times in life and also with those who just want more satisfaction in life. In either case, I work with clients to help free them from destructive life patterns that are blocking their natural life giving energy.

I frequently work with transgender, gender non-conforming and nonbinary, and LGBQ+ identified adult individuals.
Now accepting new clients! In my approach to therapy, I believe that problems do not arise spontaneously, but are instead influenced by the behaviors, opinions, and connections with those around us—even those who are no longer living. My intention is to build honest and trusting relationships with each of my clients so that healthier patterns can be created and new solutions learned.

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.

At QuIPP, we are queer, non-binary, depth-oriented, feminist, and trauma-informed. Our therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic and we seek to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the minds and spirits of our clients. Our clinical areas of expertise include: gender & sexuality, trauma, transition related support, and poly/kinky & sex positivity. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, we take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

I am a nonbinary therapist working with adults with anxiety, ADHD, gender and sexuality exploration, low self-worth, trauma and sexual assault histories, and much more. You can expect a session with me to be tailored to your specific needs. This can include growing your awareness of your bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions to gain more choices around your reactions to life and life’s stressors. I love helping clients nurture deep and compassionate connections with themselves, even parts of themselves that may feel shameful or that they may have struggled to find kindness towards in the past.

Society tries to put us into binary boxes every day, and I believe in living life in the space in between. Therapy is a place where we can shed the expectations of others and give space for our authentic selves. Together we will explore your past experiences in order to identify your intentions for what comes next. My therapeutic style is direct but stems from a place of non-judgmental empathy; so while you can rest assured that I will be here to help you navigate your self-exploration, you will need to be prepared to be in the driver’s seat.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting, and affirming therapeutic relationship.
