Hello there! I'm so glad you found me. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be curious, grow and to start the healing process. Therapy can be a scary task to approach and it's not fun sitting in the discomfort of trauma. I value humor, honesty, laughter, vulnerability and authenticity with my clients. My core values are centered on professional integrity, relational ethics, respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a commitment to continuous self-development. I provide individual therapy, group therapy and even equine facilitated psychotherapy those who qualify.

A client once said that on the day of everyone's birth, they should be assigned a therapist for life. At some time in your life wouldn't it be nice to have someone validate you, completely accept you without judgment and be there when you feel you can't go on? Perhaps you'd begin to see your strengths, learn how to think positively and understand that you can move forward no matter your situation.

Grief is something we all face in life, but each person experiences it differently. Sometimes it’s due to the death of a loved one. Other times, however, it’s due to the loss of your country, your health, your plans for a family, or another important pillar of your life. You may be finding that this feels much different than you expected it to—rather than just feeling sad, you feel angry, impatient, constantly on edge. You’re tired of people telling you “they know how you feel” (they don’t) or that you’re “so strong” (you don’t feel that way). Your world has been permanently changed, and you’re not sure how to move forward.

Often difficult life experiences leave a lasting mark on our ideas of ourselves. In the therapy room, I invite my clients to explore how parts of themselves have adapted to survive. Together we will befriend these parts and become familiar with your inner world, to better understand how trauma has impacted your mind, body, and view of the world. I am a gender queer, pansexual, latinx, therapist who specializes in working with women, queer, gender diverse, and polyamorous folks. I see clients age 15 and up, and love supporting late adolescence and young adulthood. My niche is childhood trauma, and emotional and sexual abuse.

As someone who has sat on both sides of the chair, I combine my experience as a counselor and energy worker to help people find the tools they need to not only manage their lives, but also to find meaning in our struggles and create a life that ignites and nourishes your soul.
