As a melanated person, I recognize the uniqueness in the Black and Latinx experience as well as the importance of implementing cultural practices to address your well-being. Therefore, I understand your search for mental health services that aim to recognize your unique lived experience. We are often living our lives in survival mode, adapting and assimilating to fit a multitude of spaces where we are seen as the minority. Given the trauma Black and Latinx people experience on a daily, it is easy to feel alone and unheard. I know what it's like to suffer in silence, and I don't want you to know that feeling.

Congratulations on courageously taking the first step by investigating counselors. I know it is scary. None of us are perfect, and asking for help is okay. Do you feel like your life is "The Matrix," a hopeless, joyless, purposeless treadmill? Or like "Princess Bride," that "life is pain," and anyone who says differently is selling something? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Often, we feel overwhelmed, isolated, discouraged, anxious, depressed, or broken, and we may not know how to find our way through to the other side.

Navigating through life can begin to feel daunting at times. You may struggle to say "no" to those around you. Being alone may feel frightening and being around others exhausting. You may drift through the days constantly pushing the little voice that says "I'm not okay" to the side, so your loved ones won't worry. You may feel you don't really belong anywhere. Sometimes the only option to cope with the emotions may be running away whether that's scrolling through social media or overindulging. You may want to feel better, but you don't know where to start. Reaching out is the first step towards healthy living and healing.

I am a proud LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and advocate. I aim to help clients discover and engage in a meaningful and purposeful life. The great thing about therapy and wellness is it is different for everyone and should be based on each unique individual.

I integrate aspects of cognitive therapy, psycho-dynamic principles, adaptive processing theory, and motivational interviewing as part of my therapeutic practice.

Trauma is an interesting part of life, you are not expecting it, and you barely understand it. Now you are forced to deal with it. Or even to deal with many other Mental Health issues. I have experienced enough trauma, Grief and Loss, sadness, and Depression to last a lifetime, from childhood issues to adult issues. However, I had to build a team; you would call this team a support system, much like what you are doing by reading my profile. You want to build your (Team) Support system, and you are not alone. It is easy to fight your battles alone and to suffer in silence. I want you to know that you do not have to.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a focus on helping clients rebuild, restructure and work through tough situations. I have a strong background in the natural sciences and philsophy and incorporate this experience into my clinical work and have found this to be a very effective approach in seeing clients effectively work through and resolve issues in their lives. I primarily focus on a cognitive behavioral therapy approach as it is an applied model to use as a template that describes the internal distress with specific methods to apply and reduce severity of those stressors.
