Feeling seen, heard, and understood can be some of the most empowering feelings we experience in life. On the other hand, feeling lost, misunderstood, disconnected, and overwhelmed can be extremely isolating. Whether this is due to trauma, life transitions, identity, relationships, dysfunctional family dynamics, anxious/depressive thoughts, etc. I know how hard it is to feel alone. Therapy can be a great tool to know yourself fully, work through those isolating experiences and feelings, and ultimately live more authentically.
I use a person-centered framework with the core belief that we all are our own experts, sometimes our expertise is just waiting to be uncovered and actualized. Everyone is unique and has individual needs. Therefore my approach is diverse, collaborative, experiential, liberating, and creative. I will help you navigate life's twists and turns with confidence.
I am a quirky, queer, Colombian-American, from a small town in the South. My identity has shaped the way I see the world and fuels my empathy as a therapist. I strive to create a space built on warmth, humor, and connection because ultimately, our therapeutic relationship will be what allows us to work through your struggles with intention and trust.
