Are you motivated and looking for change? Maybe you're seeking to identify patterns of behavior that might stem from childhood and are ready to make some changes. My ideal client is someone like you—driven to improve their life, but facing challenges along the way. You might be a first-gen individual, a member of the BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ communities, or someone who lives an alternative lifestyle. Your needs could range from healing past traumas to navigating relationship conflicts, and your goals might include building healthier relationships, achieving emotional well-being, or embracing your identity.
Do you want a therapist who understands your unique experiences and can guide you toward a more fulfilling and authentic life? Rejecting a "one-size-fits-all" approach, I have experience working with diverse issues—trauma, mood disorders, relationship or family of origin conflict, first-gen struggles, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and alternative lifestyle support.
As a first-gen, Latinx individual myself, I know of some of the unique struggles and can relate to your experiences. Together we can work toward a more fulfilling and authentic future for you. If this sounds like it's a good fit, reach out for a free 15 minute consultation.
